Various products made in Linz, second half of the 19th century to today 
Toy store Ed. Zechel, Landstraße Linz
From small one-man businesses to companies employing thousands of staff , the economic landscape of Linz is diverse and shaped by change. An intriguing arc can be traced, stretching from the first industry represented by the woollen textile mill in the 17th century to the innovative start-ups of the present day.
The exhibition Made in Linz highlights the stories of selected businesses in compact stations and also places a spotlight on the people behind these companies: founders with a pioneering spirit, families who continued to run businesses across generations, and companies that became important employers in the city as a result of their products.
The result is a vivid picture of economic endeavour in Linz – a glimpse into the creative cosmos of a city whose commodities have an impact far beyond its borders.
