An ode to Austrian ingenuity & global icons
Within the gallery spaces, a visual narrative of modern ideologies and artistic expressions unfolds. Witness the profound impact of Austria’s post-war visionaries such as Maria Lassnig with her emotive self-portraits and Arnulf Rainer with his intricate abstractions, shaping the cultural ethos of the nation.
