The Museum der Moderne hosted a fundraising dinner with prominent guests. The proceeds from the evening are primarily intended to go towards art education and thus attract young people to the museum.

We want to attract more young people to our museum over the next 20 years," says Harald Krejci, Director of the Museum der Moderne. The museum has already taken a major step in this direction: Admission, including the Mönchsberg elevator, is free for under-19s.

Financial support is needed to ensure that this and other offers can continue to be made available to young people. Around 90 friends and supporters of the museum therefore gathered for this year's fundraising dinner.

Among them were former ski star Alexandra Meissnitzer, hotelier Andreas Gfrerer and Fred Kendlbacher (Progress Werbung). Specialties from the neighbouring M32 were served by Sepp Schellhorn.

This year, the net proceeds of around 30,000 euros will go specifically to the art education initiative "Kreativ! Young! Easy!" initiative. The aim of this initiative is to break down barriers and enable children and young people to actively participate in and experience art.
