Art/Brut Center Gugging, Art Brut museum in Klosterneuburg, Austria.
Museum Gugging in Klosterneuburg is an art museum dedicated to Art Brut and related creative expressions. Its collections are displayed across multiple gallery spaces featuring both rotating and permanent exhibitions.
The museum opened in 2006 and quickly became an important institution for Art Brut in Austria. It has received recognition for maintaining high standards in exhibition and presentation practices.
The museum displays works created by artists from the Gugging community who develop their practice without influence from academic traditions. Visitors experience the artistic diversity of this group directly through the exhibitions.
The Art/Brut Center Gugging occupies the grounds of the former Niederösterreichische Landesnervenklinik Ost in Maria Gugging, a district of Klosterneuburg northwest of Vienna. It brings together the museum gugging, the galerie gugging, the Haus der Künstler and the Offenes Atelier, so allow time to move between these separate buildings on the former clinic site. The museum opened in these converted rooms in 2006.
The facade of the House of Artists has been painted since 1983, and the murals visible today include August Walla's work dated 1988, with the words "AUGUSTIN 1988", "WALLA" and "KOREK" on the upper storey. A second tiled mural above a stone base shows figures, a red animal and a fruit tree, with the names "GEORGI", "RUSSO", "JEVA" and "MARIA" painted beside them.
