The KubinKabinett Leogang was located in the old Badhaus and closed due to bankruptcy of the owner in 2010. The collection was auctioned off by a Viennese art auction house and is no longer located in Leogang. The building was bought at auction by Raiffeisenbank Leogang.
LeogangerKinderKultur: The LeogangerKinderKultur was founded in 1990 with the intention "... to give children and young people the opportunity to actively participate in shaping culture ...". Within the framework of "workshops", children were given the opportunity to experience various areas of art, such as painting, sculpting, writing, dancing, acting, or filmmaking, under the guidance of renowned national and international artists. The results of these workshops can be found, for example, in the form of artworks in various places in Leogang or have also been published nationally, such as the film "Ein Rucksack voller Lügen" (A Backpack Full of Lies), directed by Wolfram Paulus, which was released in cinemas throughout Austria in 1996. In 2013, the organizer of LeogangerKinderKultur announced the end of the project. The reason given was the increasingly difficult procurement of sponsorships.
