| | | | Belvedere: Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere is a fantastic and important collection that spans the Middle Ages up to the present day. Set in the beautiful summer Belvedere Palace which Prince Eugene of Savoy had built in the 16th century, it is the home to the famous Gustav Klimt painting The Kiss. There are two main parts of the palace, the Upper Belvedere and Lower Belvedere. They are both two separate palace buildings on either side of a Baroque garden. The Upper Belvedere houses the collection of the 19th and 20th centuries, namely works by artists like Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, etc. The Lower Belvedere contains the Musem of Medieval Art and the Baroque Museum. Besides the paintings, the Lower Belvedere has impressive rooms, like the Marble Room, Marble Gallery, the Gold Cabinet, and the Hall of Grotesques. While I enjoyed the collections of Klimt and Schiele, I personally preferred the collections at the Lower Belvedere. Call me a romantic at heart, but I thought the medieval and baroque collections, as well as the rooms and halls there were more impressive and the imagery more grandiose. OPENING HOURS: Tuesday to Sunday: 10 am - 6 pm Entrance: till 5.30 pm Closed on Monday ADMISSION € 7.50 Various discounts available for groups, senior citizens, child, etc Leave a Comment Directions: Take Tram D from Mariahlifergasse to Schloss BelvedereWebsite: http://www.belvedere.at/en/index.htm
