Great little art gallery off Vienna's main shopping street. Art here is targeted at the…read moremiddle-priced range, and the gallery owners are friendly and helpful. If any of the pieces catch your eye, they are willing to discuss prices with you, and if you are willing to pay cash, they are more likely to negotiate with you. They represent a good range of Austrian mid-range priced artists. They have an international presence and often go to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Miami, and New York for exhibitions. They also have a little room below selling fine wines. Stop by!

A husband and wife own this gallery. I passed it one day and…read morecouldn't help but stop and look at the art (I LOVE watercolor). I promised myself I would come back and buy one and so I did. I purchased three prints (you can purchase the original art, but I'm poor, so I purchased prints) and have them hanging on the walls in my home. I love them. I also talked with the woman who owns it with her husband and she is so nice! I coming back in October when they release new work to buy some more of it. This shop contains great art for a sincere gift.

I did not know he was such a narcissistic twat until he went off to WWI and was humbled and matured by the soldiers he met. He really loved his wife, Edith, though who's to say if he would have stayed faithful if they both lived to old age. I had no idea he died at age 28, and he and his wife died within days of each other, and he died on Halloween 1918. There's a painting by Klimt I wanted to see, Death and Life, but unfortunately two of their floors were closed for some renovations, so I was disappointed that I was unable to view it during my visit to Vienna. Very easy to find in MuseumsQuartier, a short walk from Hofburg Palace.

Some construction in the museum, recommended to start at floor 4 and come down…read more Pluses 1. Great early Klimt- death is here- and early Austrian artists with furniture, including Klimt's original furniture he used 2. Open spaces 3. Clean bathrooms but must use ticket to enter by the cafe 4. Cafe available 5. Great gift store Areas to improve 1. Info about each art work is difficult to read, very small print so headphone guides with info may be helpful 2. Elevators very small and doors wouldn't open for a while so be patient Highly recommended and good value.

The Beethoven Frieze from 1901 is a must see. The story, colors and mix of gold are beautiful. Read…read morethrough the brochures in the viewing room for a full interpretation of the murals which are based on Beethoven's 9th and humanity's longing for happiness as interpreted by Klimt. The rest of the museum has rotating exhibits on two additional floors. It is a small museum so 1 hour is probably sufficient for visiting.

It been since my inner rebel brought me to art school, against all opinions and odds. I am in awe to all people this building represent - from Olbrich who designed it, to artists movement it was built for - for love of art, progress and artistic freedom. The intricate details of the facades, golden globe spills out in array of golden leaves and musical lines of the trees. Medusa heads adorn main entrance, and on the side, you can also see three owls, which I love the most. Of course, the main attraction is Klimt's Beethoven Frieze on display - very iconic to whole Art Nouveau movement. (Gift shop at the entrance sells quality posters of most famous art nouveau artists, you would not leave empty-handed) A must see for all Art Nouveau lovers and for all rebel spirits out there.

Funky places like this are my jam, even if I don't purchase anything (but I did)!…read more I saw pictures of this area while planning our trip to Vienna, and didn't tell my husband about it. When he saw it, he liked it too. Out popped the phone and off he wandered to take pictures. There is a small covered shopping area, sort of like a mall. You walk in and there are several small shops around a central bar. Some of the shops have an upstairs, so be sure to check everything out! Hubs isn't much of a shopper, so he got a drink at the bar while waiting for me to finish souvenir hunting before joining him. We each had a drink and I picked up some postcards. The bartender wasn't very talkative, but he was friendly and nice. The shops all carry different stuff, but each is quirky and artsy in it's own way....everything fits in in this area. A worthwhile stop, in my opinion, especially if you are looking for something a little different than all the renaissance and Victorian historical stuff. 52/2025

People do live in these apartments so you can't go in, but my one request is that there are more photos of the apts inside. Of the four photos we do see, you can tell the apts are lined with same tiles and colors throughout. Would like to see more of the interior in photos, while keeping their privacy.

Anyone loving art will certainly love this quaint little gallery. You don't need an entire day or…read morehours and hours at a time, an hour is most likely enough; which doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the exhibits. They currently have one of my favorite artists on display: The one and only Mel Ramos. For anyone not familiar with his work, Mel Ramos is a U.S. figurative painter who specializes in the art of nude and was also part of the Pop Art movement of the 1960s. One painting that might come to mind is the famous drawing of the Lucky Strike cigarette pack with the blond bombshell on it. Pin-Up and Pop Art has always fascinated me so it's great to see that Master's work in such a small setting. The exhibit runs until October 12, so be sure to be quick! It's free of charge!

Hofburg Palace is a MUST-visit in Vienna. Chances are, if you're going to visit a museum as a…read moretourist, at least one of them will likely be at Hofburg Palace or within its vicinity. The Sisi Museum was one that I visited, and all day long, the palace grounds are teeming with tourists. Even if you don't enter the palace, you can walk through the grounds, enjoy the garden, people watch, and enjoy watching the horse-drawn carriages. Baroque architecture heaven!

The Hofburg is a giant complex of museums, government buildings, the Austrian president's home, and…read moreso much more. Much of it is open to the public and the grounds are free to walk around on. Everything else is either closed to the public or requires an entrance fee. There is something for everyone here: the Sisi Museum, the national Library, the Spanish Riding school (home to the famous Lipizzaner horses), a Butterfly house.....you couldn't possibly see everything in a day! It's quite possibly THE most visited spot in all of Vienna, and you will more than likely find yourself here at some point during your visit. Good luck choosing what to see first! 68/2025
