5 Art Museums in Neubau That You Shouldn't Miss

May 14, 2022 Randal Brittian

In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

WestLicht. Museum for Photography

Colourful, varied, extraordinary – the posters for the former exhibitions in the entrance area already reveal the versatility of the WestLicht Museum, which has been an integral part of an up-and-coming cultural scene since 2001. Surrounded by camera shops, WestLicht quickly developed from an insider tip to the heart of this creative area and offers photo-savvy visitors several times a year changing photo exhibitions, permanent collection of historical cameras, a large selection of photo books and posters in bookshop, as well as a cozy café that invites you to relax in an inspiring atmosphere. One of the highlights of the camera collection is the world's first commercially manufactured camera.

One of the best visits. Museum is time machine for pfoto and film lovers. Huge numbers of photo cameras from over hundred years old history. I was at the time with the photographs of Alison Jackson. Great!

Leopold Museum

The Leopold Museum is a unique treasure-house of Viennese Jugendstil, the Wiener Werkstätte and Expressionism. It is the most-visited museum of the city's hottest cultural site, the MuseumsQuartier, and it houses the most significant and largest Egon Schiele collection in the world, as well as masterworks by Secession founder Gustav Klimt. Tip: The museum's panorama windows offer a wonderful view of central Vienna with Maria Theresa Square and the Hofburg Palace.

Despite the very many great museums in Vienna, the Leopoldo Museum remains my favorite. It hosts a very large section on the exceedingly talented Egon Schiele and another on the World Famous Gustav Klimt. They also do an excellent job explaining how the Secession Movement came about in Austria and the contributions by its various founding members. The Leopold also hosts excellent visiting exhibitions. This time round there was one in German Expressionism and another on Schiele was to open tomorrow. I will need to go back again tomorrow. PS the Leopold Cafe on the 2nd floor is excellent for a bite n a drink.

The combination of artistic practice and its theoretical reflection are therefore most important for its many exhibition activities. The intense debate on important questions of our time is also reflected in an extensive program of events such as talks and discussions.

Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation (MUMOK)

Reviewed By 936nikolab

I see mixed reviews but my experience was really pleasant. I knew what to expect and I got it. I loved the architecture of the building and the vertigo exhibition has really been interesting with a couple of real modern art masterpieces. I had no problems with the staff, I understand them, it's their job to watch closely and protect the art. Anyway if you like modern art don't hesitate
