Linus Klumpner becomes the new director of the Salzburg Mozart Museums
The Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation has presented the future director of the Mozart museums in Mozart’s birthplace and home. The outgoing director Gabriele Ramsauer is to be inherited by Linus Klumpner in the next few months.
The native of Salzburg and art historian Klumpner wanted to underpin the status of the Mozart museums as “Salzburg’s tourist hotspots even after the Corona period for locals and guests from all over the world”. The Mozarteum Foundation announced this in a broadcast on Friday.
Klumpner, who already works in the Belvedere Palace and as a supervisor of the culture bearers in the cabinet of the former Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP), aims to rejuvenate the facilities visited by an average of 550,000 people each year. A new, international exhibition concept, an increased focus on younger target groups and a digitization offensive should match this. Klumpner will take over the office of museum director in January 2022.
