Brucknerhaus in the light of the evening sun

The Brucknerhaus (German pronunciation: [ˈbʁʊknɐˌhaʊs] ⓘ) is a festival and congress centre in Linz, Austria named after the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner. The building was designed by Finnish architects Heikki and Kaija Siren.[1] Its construction took place from 1969 to 1973. It opened on 23 March 1974.
