Austrian Cultural Forum New York, Cultural center in Manhattan, United States.
The Austrian Cultural Forum New York stands as a modern architectural structure on East 52nd Street, designed by Raimund Abraham with distinctive angular glass facades and innovative geometric forms.
Established in 1942 by Austrian emigrants, the forum relocated to its current Manhattan building in 1963, undergoing major renovations between 1995 and 2002 to create the present structure.
The forum presents contemporary Austrian arts through exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, and literary events, showcasing both established and emerging artists to international audiences in New York City.
The building features five exhibition floors, an amphitheater for performances, a library with over 10,000 volumes, and multipurpose spaces for conferences and cultural events throughout the year.
The 24-story tower reaches 84 meters in height, making it one of the tallest cultural buildings dedicated exclusively to a single nation's cultural mission in Manhattan.
