Belvedere 21
A modernist landmark dedicated to contemporary Austrian and international art.
Contemporary Vision
Belvedere 21 is more than just a museum; it is a vibrant space for dialogue and discovery. Located in a light-flooded building designed by Karl Schwanzer for the 1958 World's Fair, it represents the modern face of the Belvedere.
The museum focuses on **Austrian art of the 20th and 21st centuries** and its international context. It hosts thematic exhibitions, film screenings at the Blickle Kino, and serves as a home for the Artothek des Bundes.
A Modernist Masterpiece
Originally the Austrian Pavilion in Brussels, the building was relocated to Vienna and reopened in 1962 as the Museum of the 20th Century. Its steel-and-glass construction remains one of the most significant examples of **postwar modernism** in Austria.
The sculpture garden and the open-air cinema during summer months make it a popular cultural hub for both locals and tourists seeking the cutting edge of art.
