Kunst Haus Wien. Museum Hundertwasser, Art museum in Landstraße district, Vienna, Austria.
Kunst Haus Wien is an art museum displaying Hundertwasser's collection across four floors in a building with uneven floors, colored walls, and irregular window shapes. The interior combines painted surfaces, natural elements, and curved features that create an environment unlike typical gallery spaces.
The building started as a furniture factory built by Thonet in 1892 and served industrial purposes for many decades. Hundertwasser undertook a complete redesign beginning in 1989 that transformed it into the artistic structure visitors see today.
Walking through the rooms, you encounter paintings and designs that reveal how Hundertwasser thought about color, nature, and organic shapes. His artistic vision shapes not just the artworks on display but also the building itself, creating a single creative statement throughout the space.
The museum is open daily and offers guided tours in several languages, allowing visitors to explore either independently or with structured guidance. An on-site café serves Austrian food and provides a place to rest and refresh during your visit.
Ten trees grow directly from the building's windows, demonstrating Hundertwasser's vision of nature integrated into architecture. These living windows remind visitors that buildings can coexist with the natural world rather than stand apart from it.
