Architecture and History

The building of the Belvedere 21 is an architectural icon of post-war Modernism. Constructed by Karl Schwanzer for the 1958 Brussels World Expo, it was reinstalled in the Viennese Schweizer Garten. Since 1962 it was used for exhibitions, as the Museum of the Twentieth Century. After reconstruction today it is the venue for contemporary Austrian and international art, film, and music.

Artothek des Bundes / Wotruba Depot / Blickle Kino

Artothek des Bundes

The Republic of Austria has acquired over 37,000 works of art since 1948, including early works by now-established artists as well as some very contemporary pieces. The Artothek des Bundes collects and administers these works, thereby providing a comprehensive documentation of modern and contemporary Austrian art. In 2012 the Belvedere took over the administration of the collection, now located at the Belvedere 21. Selected works are presented to the public in exhibitions or are on permanent loan in Austrian museums.

Wotruba Depot

Fritz Wotruba is known as one of the most influential Austrian sculptors of the 20th century. The Fritz Wotruba Private Foundation at the Belvedere 21 administers his extensive artistic and documentary estate. In the Wotruba Depot, you will find stone and bronze sculptures as well as plaster models. The study room gives you access to drawings and prints, the artist's written estate, the photo archive, and the library.

Blickle Kino

The Blickle Kino at the Belvedere 21 is the only wholly intact cinema from the 1950s in Vienna. The generous support of Ursula Blickle allowed for the renovation of this extraordinary cinema, which architect Karl Schwanzer designed initially as part of the World Exhibition Pavilion in Brussels. Today, the Blickle Kino meets all cinematic standards and features a variety of programs, including the Blickle Archive Series.
