This was decided in today's meeting between the KUGES supervisory board and Landesstatthalterin (Vorarlberg state governor) Barbara Schöbi-Fink. Both institutions have been closed since March 14, in measures to contain the coronavirus. From the first week of June, the vorarlberg museum and KUB will be open to visitors again – initially from Thursdays to Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm, and in compliance with all the prescribed hygiene and safety measures, as confirmed by KUGES managing director Werner Döring. “We are delighted and see it now as our task, after weeks of cultural abstinence, to again provide the public with two first-class opportunities of visiting exhibitions at the vorarlberg museum and Kunsthaus Bregenz,” declared Vorarlberg state governor Barbara Schöbi-Fink. The two institutions will be announcing the specific subject matter of their respective presentation in the coming days. All employees at Vorarlberger Kulturhäuser-Betriebsgesellschaft are working reduced hours for the months of April to June. During this period, the three directors of the cultural institutions, Andreas Rudigier (vorarlberg museum), Thomas D. Trummer (Kunsthaus Bregenz), and Stephanie Gräve (Vorarlberger Landestheater), as well as managing director Werner Döring are voluntarily waiving 20% of their net remuneration. This contribution is being generously increased by KUGES and is to be used for self-employed artists and social purposes. vorarlberg museum Kornmarktplatz 1 I 6900 Bregenz I Austria www.vorarlbergmuseum.at Press Contact: Manfred Welte | +43 664 88 369 245 [email protected] Kunsthaus Bregenz KUB Karl-Tizian-Platz I 6900 Bregenz I Austria www.kunsthaus-bregenz.at Press Contact: Martina Feurstein | +43 664 9111 433 [email protected] Opening times, for the vorarlberg museum from June 4 and Kunsthaus Bregenz from June 5 Thursday to Sunday, 10 am to 6 pm .
