Contemporary art meets 1950s industrial architecture. akku organizes exhibitions of contemporary art and explores current themes and trends. The art platform is supported by the non-profit foundation akku Emmen, which was established in 2008. The varied exhibition program is enriched with cultural events and makes akku a lively meeting place in the heart of Lucerne North. The transfer of knowledge and openness in dealing with art is an essential task of akku.  The exhibition program includes public guided tours, lectures, readings and publications. The rooms of the art platform are located in Building 716, the former shipping building of the Viscose factory, and have been transformed into a professional art institution for cultural use - in the long term also as part of the future "Viscosistadt" - in accordance with the latest standards. The centerpiece is the 500 m2 hall.
