The museum dates back to an oeuvre donation to the city of Dornbirn from the action artist FLATZ (Wolfgang Flatz, *1952, Dornbirn). The opening took place in 2009 by the former "documenta" director Jan Hoet.[1]

It shows changing exhibitions designed by international guest curators with a focus on photographic art, organises readings, lecture series, discussions and performances. The collection includes key works by Wolfgang Flatz from the period 1975 to 1999 and is supplemented by private loans.[2][3][4][5]
