Ars Electronica Center
A "museum of the future" known for interactive exhibits on artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology, with the Deep Space 8K immersive theatre as a highlight.
The Ars Electronica Center is the permanent home of Ars Electronica, one of the world's leading festivals of new media art. The glass building, extended in 2009, has an LED-covered façade that changes colour at night on the north bank of the Danube. Inside, hands-on interactive exhibits and labs explore artificial intelligence, robotics, genetics and neuroscience. Underground, the Deep Space 8K theatre shows immersive films across a 16 × 9 m screen and the floor, with scheduled showings each day. Admission is about €15 (check the official website for current prices). Closed Mondays. Located at the northern end of Nibelungen Bridge, about a 5-minute walk from Hauptplatz.
