Kunst Haus Wien

About

Kunst Haus Wien is one of Vienna’s most distinctive cultural landmarks, designed and founded by visionary artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Located in the Weißgerberviertel district, the museum occupies a former furniture factory transformed into a vibrant, eco-conscious space that defies architectural convention. Its undulating floors, irregular shapes, and lush greenery reflect Hundertwasser’s philosophy of harmony between art and nature. The museum houses the world’s only permanent exhibition of his works, including paintings, prints, and architectural models, alongside temporary shows focused on contemporary art and ecological themes. With its jungle-like café and commitment to sustainability, Kunst Haus Wien offers an immersive experience where creativity and environmental awareness converge.
