Werner Berg Museum, Art museum in Bleiburg, Austria.
The Werner Berg Museum is housed in a renovated 17th-century townhouse with modern architectural features. It displays over 150 oil paintings, woodcuts, and drawings by the artist, along with works by other artists in rotating exhibitions.
The building underwent significant changes during the Biedermeier period before receiving comprehensive renovations from 1995 to 2009 under architect Peter Fleiss. This restoration prepared it for its role as a museum.
Werner Berg was a farmer and painter who lived and worked on his property in the region for decades. His works show the simple life of rural people as it existed in Carinthia.
The museum features a panoramic elevator for visitors and a sculpture garden in the outdoor area. The spaces are designed for rotating exhibitions of various artists.
The museum received the Austrian Museum Quality Seal, an award that recognizes its work in preserving documents about pre-industrial rural life in Lower Carinthia. This distinction makes it a recognized keeper of local history.
