"Beautiful metal figures and sculptures along the Danube. Between the Nibelungen Bridge and the Railway Bridge, you'll find many different sculptures by renowned artists. Some are unfortunately very dirty and defaced with graffiti. Definitely worth a stroll. 🤩🤩"
Markus Schaubmaier
"Numerous large sculptures in a variety of art styles. Unfortunately, fools have made some of the boards unreadable."
Udo Dreher
"Sculptures by some artists form the Metal Forum in the Donaupark in Linz. They are intended to represent the city's connection between art and business. Linz is embodied here as both an industrial location and an up-and-coming art metropolis.
Internationally known artists were invited to create large sculptures for Linz's Donaupark. The limited exhibition time became a permanent exhibition with loans from the respective artists. Some works of art were dismantled or returned to the artists."
