Generali Foundation, Contemporary art museum in Wieden, Vienna, Austria.
The Generali Foundation is an art museum housed in a converted factory building that displays works spanning conceptual art, performance, and experimental practices. The space presents pieces that push beyond traditional artistic boundaries and explore how art can take different forms.
The foundation was created in 1988 and relocated to Habighof, a renovated hat factory, in 1995. Since then it has grown into a significant center for contemporary art research and presentation.
The collection centers on conceptual practices that artists have explored over many decades. Visitors encounter artworks that question what art can be and how it functions.
The entrance is located within a converted industrial building that stands out in the neighborhood. The public library and archive offer resources for those wanting to research artworks and artists more deeply.
The museum holds early computer art from the 1960s, a medium that was then completely new and experimental. These pieces reveal how artistic thinking often preceded technological possibility.
