Permanent exhibitions
A taste of the exhibition
One of the most interesting objects of the exhibition is the GIER computer mostly used for the supervision of chemical processes. The Danish device was used by the Pét Nitrogen Works for the evaluation of the parameters of its Ammonia department. The computer was produced in 1966. continue
A taste of the exhibition
The exhibition gives a universal picture about the slow change to the modern developed and capitalized production methods. The reason for the slowness can be found in the lack of financies as well as the limitative affect of the conscious Austrian industrial policy. continue

The series were evaluated by the Fine and Applied Arts Lectorate. The paintings represent the the most important battles of the catstle (1566 and 1593), together with the building and peaceful weekdays of the castle. continue
