Livre - Linz 2009 European capital of culture

Linz09 has meant 365 days of culture in all its forms, and a few refreshing updates in and for the City of Linz. Visitors, audience members, participants—they’re the ones who have the final say about the success of a Capital of Culture year. Attendance at more than 7.700 Linz09 events, exhibitions, festivals, actions and projects was nearly 3.5 million. This figure topped even the most optimistic estimates. Accordingly, we want to express our thanks first and foremost to all the tourists and locals whose enthusiasm and openness to novel experiences have made it all happen.
