Come and see the cream of Vienna's art scene at Kunst Haus Wien, the art museum with an eco-friendly twist (it was the first museum with the Austrian Ecolabel!). Founded by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1991, the museum houses the world's largest collection of his work, along with regular temporary exhibitions featuring the works of international artists.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser is widely considered to be one of the most important Austrian artists of the 20th century. His work is a vibrant mix of colors and hypnotic asymmetry, with an emphasis on nature, animism, and ecology – as well as architectural themes.
Hundertwasser's ecological commitment is seen across his vast oeuvre, which is part of the Kunst Haus Wien's permanent collection. With paintings, photography, lithographs, silkscreens, etchings, and more. For art lovers in Vienna, it's a must. The museum is an artistic treasure in itself.
There's also a regularly updated roster of temporary exhibitions ranging in theme and medium, many of which revolve around the ecological subject matter that Hundertwasser championed.
