Vienna Art House

Housing a vast and most exquisite collection of antiquities under one roof, Vienna Art House is place for history buffs and art lovers.

Vienna Art House or The KunstHausWien is a noteworthy building established to inhabit the entire collection of Imperial Hapsburg under one roof. However, the place was big enough to house the Hofburg and Sch_nbrunn Palace as well. Exhibiting the amazing skills of architecture, the building itself showcases checkerboard facade with an intricate mosaic tile work, lush plants budding over the rooftop and unique symbol of Viennese artist Hundertwasser (1928_2000). The work exhibited inside is equally notable as it is outside. Starting with an eloquent staircase that serves as a gateway to the galleries, the place houses a huge collection of relics of the past such as Egyptian-Oriental and Coin collections. The art chamber or the Kunstkammer displays sculpture and decorative arts while the Gem_ldegalerie (picture gallery) is adorned with works by great artisans such as Raphael, Rembrandt, DÙre, Titian and Brueghels. The brilliant works in form of paintings, graphics, architecture, philosophy, and ecology along with a model of a utopian city will leave awe-inspired.
