Kunsthistorisches Museum

Österreichische Nationalbibliothek

National Library

With around 11 million collections, the Austrian National Library is the largest library in Austria. An architectural highlight is the baroque ceremonial room, which is 20 meters high.

Museum Hundertwasser

Hundertwasser Objects

Hundertwasser can be considered a "colourist" painter, as colour is an essential - if not overriding - element of all his work. He used highly saturated colours regardless of subject matter.

Wiener Secession
