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.
Explore the many-faceted Hangar-7 - a venue for art, epicurean delicacies and technology.
Architecture
Due to its extraordinary architecture, Hangar-7 has emerged as a distinctive new landmark in the city of Salzburg.
In designing Hangar-7, the attempt was made to filter the world of aviation into the architecture and to create a unique setting whose flowing lines can be perceived in three dimensions with all of the senses.
Standing inside Hangar-7, the transparent shell seems to open into an endless sky above the historic airplanes. Looking on the building from the outside, the metaphor of a wing comes to mind, exuding incredible dynamics and an absence of gravity - despite the 1,200 tons of steel and 380 tons of special glass that went into its construction.
Art
Hangar-7 has become an international meeting place for aficionados of historic aircraft.
It also serves as a venue for successful exhibitions. HangART-7 introduces promising new talents and current art trends from various parts of the world three times a year. Austria, the "starting country," was followed, among others, by shows from China, New York, Iceland and Switzerland.
Dining
A long-cherished dream has come true at the Ikarus Restaurant - the Ikarus concept.
Patron Witzigmann and executive chef Roland Trettl invite the world's best chefs to cook at the Ikarus, taking Hangar-7 guests on a culinary trip around the world. Each month a different guest chef presents his personal style of preparing exquisite cuisine for a superb dining experience.
Technology
The Flying Bulls in Salzburg are devoted 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 summer of 2003, henceforth the home of the Flying Bulls. A special feature of the Flying Bulls' historic collection: the exhibits are much more than just collector's items. All of the Flying Bulls aircraft, regardless of age, are still airworthy.
