Collaborations





1. Why does the museum charge admission?
We are a non-profit museum financed by admission fees, donations and our museum shop. Your admission ticket directly contributes to enabling our exhibitions, research work and the preservation of the works.
2. Is the museum accessible to people with disabilities?
Yes, our museum is wheelchair accessible! Our exhibition rooms are easily accessible for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. To use the lift, please call us during your visit so that we can grant you access. +43 662 276231.
3. Can I bring a bag or rucksack?
For security reasons, bags and rucksacks larger than A4 size may not be taken into the exhibition rooms. Our lockers are available for your use during your visit. Please note that storage space is limited and that these lockers may only be used during your visit to the museum.
4. Do you accept the Salzburg Card/ICOM/ORF Card or similar cards?
Unfortunately not. As a non-profit museum, we finance ourselves through our admission fees and are unfortunately unable to participate in discount programmes.
5. Where do the artworks come from?
Our works originate from auctions, galleries, estates or donations. Each work has been individually researched and added to the collection with the utmost care.
6. How is the museum financed?
The museum is supported by the Prof. Dr. Heinz R. Böhme Charitable Foundation. We also finance ourselves through admission fees, sales in the museum shop, donations from private individuals and project-related funding from public institutions.
7. Who is Prof. Dr Heinz R. Böhme?
Prof. Dr. Böhme is the collector and founder of the museum. For decades, he has been dedicated to rediscovering the artists of the Lost Generation. You can find out more about Prof. Dr. Böhme here.
8. Do you also have female artists in your collection?
Are all the artists here Jewish? Are all the works "degenerate art"? Our collection includes works by artists from different cultural, religious and social backgrounds. The "lost generation" refers to artists who, due to political persecution and the circumstances during the Nazi era, either went into exile, were arrested or had their works destroyed. Not all works in our collection fall under the term "degenerate art", as many had already fled before the confiscation campaign or their works were not included in this campaign. You can find more information about the lost generation here.
9. Do you accept donations or sales of paintings?
Yes, we welcome offers of donations or sales of paintings, provided they fit in with the theme of our collection. As a non-profit museum with limited financial resources, donations are particularly valuable to us. We also carefully consider each request for a possible purchase in line with our collection strategy. If you would like to offer a work, please use our online form – we will be happy to get back to you.
10. Do you offer guided tours?
Yes, we offer public guided tours of the exhibitions every Saturday at 11 a.m. For groups or special requests, we also offer private tours that can be tailored to your interests. Please contact us to book a tour. You can find more information about our guided tours here.
