Hans Frank (1908-1987) is considered a key figure in the history of the Upper Austrian State Museum's photo collection, which is largely due to his passion for collecting and expertise. By founding the first Austrian photography museum in Bad Ischl, he realized his visionary ideas by continuously enriching an exquisite collection, which today forms the cornerstone of Upper Austria's historical photography collection. The inauguration of the Hans Frank Gallery on the ground floor of the Francisco Carolinum not only pays due respect to Hans Frank, but also provides Upper Austria's photographic collection with a striking stage to present itself to the public in the future.

The opening exhibition is dedicated to the internationally outstanding collection of autochromes and early forms of transparent color light images. The brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière marked a significant milestone in 1907 with the launch of Autochrome, a technically advanced method based on additive color mixing and an emulsion of tiny, colored potato starch grains on glass plates, paving the way from monochrome to color photography. The selection of around 50 objects for this exhibition comes from the state of Upper Austria's photo collection, which includes around 1,000 early transmitted-light color images. These include unique major works by the Lumière brothers and other pioneers of color photography.

In collaboration with the Linz design office MARCH GUT, an innovative viewing system was created that allows visitors to view these extraordinary and at the same time highly sensitive image treasures in their authentic brilliance.
