Description
Essentials about the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in brief
The Österreichische Galerie Belvedere (Austrian Gallery Belvedere) is one of the most important art museums in Vienna and houses art of several epochs from the Middle Ages to the Baroque and contemporary works. A focus is on the Austrian painters of the Fin de Siècle and Art Nouveau. The Belvedere Gallery owns the world’s largest collection of paintings by Gustav Klimt, with the two paintings “Kiss” and “Judith” as glittering highlights.
The building of the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere
The Austrian Gallery is housed in Belvedere Palace, the former summer residence of Prince Eugene, an important general, art patron and collector. In addition to the Upper Belvedere (where the permanent exhibition can be seen) and the Lower Belvedere (which shows current exhibitions), the 21er Haus (also current exhibitions) and the Gustinus Ambrosi Museum also belong to the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere.
