Permanent Collection
The Belvedere's world-famous collection: Highlights by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller as well as icons of Viennese Modernism by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Helene Funke await you! Discover gems of Austrian art from the Middle Ages and the Baroque – come face-to-face, for example, with the famous "Character Heads" by F. X. Messerschmidt.
Set amid the Baroque splendor of the Upper Belvedere, the permanent exhibition places Austrian art into context with the work of international artists of the times. Works by key representatives of Viennese Modernism are presented in dialogue with those of Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Auguste Rodin, creating an arc that spans all the way to Friedensreich Hundertwasser. You will also encounter the works of prominent artists in the interwar period in Central Europe, with the likes of László Moholy-Nagy, Marie-Louise von Motesiczky, and František Kupka.

Accompanying the redisplay of the collection, contemporary art will be introduced to the Baroque Carlone Hall in six-monthly shows. These will engage with the mythological pictorial programme and build a bridge between the art of the old masters and the present. The museum thus questions itself and is repositioned as a place of inspiration, reflection, and experience.
IN-SIGHT is a series of temporary exhibitions held three times a year at the Upper Belvedere to highlight specific aspects of the museum’s collection. The public is presented with works of art in the context of new scholarly research.
