Why go
This record is the castle; the Schlossmuseum inside it is a separate Wikidata item, recorded as part of the castle, and is described here as what the castle houses. The page of the operator, OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH, says the Schlossmuseum gives an overview of the natural, cultural and art history of Upper Austria from prehistory and early history to the 21st century, and that special exhibitions on international, regional, cultural, natural and contemporary history accompany its permanent exhibition. The same page says the museum will begin rearranging its collections from 2026, with particular attention to archaeology and prehistory. The castle's own building history is not stated here: the only page read that gives it is the Linz tourism board's, whose imprint says some texts are written with AI assistance.
