Belvedere Klimt experience

One of the biggest draws at the Belvedere is the Gustav Klimt collection. Get an Upper Belvedere entry ticket for direct access to iconic works such as The Kiss, Judith, and Portrait of Fritza Riedler. These paintings are not only central to Austrian culture but are also globally recognized symbols of the Art Nouveau movement.

Belvedere 21 Museum

The Belvedere 21 Museum features some of the most fascinating pieces of Modern Art acquired by the Austrian state since the end of WWII in the Artothek des Bundes. The museum includes sculptures by Lois Weinberger and Leopold Kessler and shows art films in the 1950's-style cinema, Blickle Kino.

Belvedere 21 Museum

Orangery

Initially a heated conservatory for citrus trees, the Orangery was reconverted into stables in 1805. When it was further redesigned, the interior of the Orangery was converted into a modern area that we see today, and hence the white cube exhibition space came into being.
