Art in gastronomy and the hotel industry

Surrounding yourself with beautiful things – numerous hotels and catering businesses have jumped on this bandwagon. Each with its own individual input and output, because art is certainly never the same. The Hirschen in Dornbirn, for example, exhibits the sculptures of self-taught artist Günter Nussbaumer, while the restaurant of the same name in Lambach makes room in the Herzogstube for openings by young up-and-coming artists from Upper Austria under the motto „Kinski & Kunst“.

No plastic please

How to achieve a plastic-free working day
