Rather than storing artworks in a depot, the collection lives within the architecture of STRABAG itself — displayed in offices, meeting rooms, and public spaces in over 75 of the company’s buildings in Austria and beyond. Selected works are also exhibited at partner institutions closely connected to STRABAG.
