Red Bull Hangar-7 (Salzburg, Austria)

Art is not introduced obtrusively here. , it is mixed in to the environment in a subtle and classy way. This alone guarantees a unique atmosphere inside the impressive glass dome of Hangar-7, for the exhibited pieces can literally be seen in a different light depending on the weather or the position of the sun.

Hangar-7 at Salzburg Airport is a unique architectural work of art. Originally planned to accommodate the Flying Bull's steadily growing collection of historic aircraft, Hangar-7 has become synonymous with avant-garde architecture, modern art and exquisite dining.

Due to its weird architecture, Hangar-7 has emerged as a one-of-a-kind new landmark in the city of Salzburg. In designing Hangar-7, the attempt was made to filter the world of aviation in to the architecture and to generate a unique setting whose flowing lines can be perceived in dimensions with all of the senses. Standing inside of it, the transparent shell seems to open in to an countless sky above the historic airplanes. Looking on the building from the outside, the metaphor of a wing comes to mind, exuding brilliant dynamics and an absence of gravity - despite the one,200 tons of steel and 380 tons of special glass that went in to its construction.

Artists and visitors come together on an equal footing. Although it serves as a gathering place for all art

lovers, the term "art gallery" would not do it justice as an exhibition venue. , Hangar-7 is a place where artists and art aficionados can exchange ideas and encourage another. The exhibition space is brought to life by this exchange, which stimulates the contrast between the different exhibition themes: expertise in all its forms on the side, and the equally varied art on the other.

A long-cherished dream has come true at the Ikarus Restaurant - the Ikarus idea.
Patron Witzigmann and executive chef Roland Trettl invite the world's best cooks to cook at the Ikarus, taking its guests on a culinary trip around the globe. Each month a different visitor chef presents his personal style of preparing exquisite cuisine for a superb dining experience.

The Flying Bulls in Salzburg are dedicated to the art of finding rare historic aircraft, which they refurbish with dedication to let them fly again.
Hangar-7 was opened at Salzburg Airport in the summertime of 2003, henceforth the home of the Flying Bulls. A special feature of the Flying Bulls' historic collection: the exhibits are much over collector's items. All of the Flying Bulls aircraft, irrespective of age, are still airworthy.
