Under Maria Theresa, it developed into one of the first public museums<\/strong> in the world to house imperial collections.<\/strong><\/p>\n Today, the Upper Belvedere houses a permanent exhibition of art from the 19th and 20th centuries<\/strong> and is the most visited art <\/strong>museum<\/strong><\/a> in Austria. Around 420 works are spread over three floors, exhibited in seven themed rooms. Among the artworks are the works of famous artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet and Egon Schiele.<\/strong><\/p>\n The showpiece is undoubtedly the world’s largest Klimt collection,<\/strong> consisting of over twenty works, including Gustav Klimt’s world-famous masterpiece “The Kiss”.<\/p>\n The magnificent and richly furnished state rooms<\/strong> in Upper Belvedere are also worth seeing. The highlight is the Marble Hall<\/strong>, whose balcony with a view of Canaletto offers what is probably the most<\/strong> famous <\/strong>view<\/strong><\/a> of Vienna. <\/strong>The Austrian State Treaty was also signed here in 1955, with which Austria’s sovereignty was restored.<\/p>\n Lower Belvedere is the former residence of the builder Prince Eugene.<\/strong> Built between 1714 and 1716, it was occupied by Prince Eugene, during the summer.<\/p>\n Today, exhibits of paintings and graphics from the 17th to 18th centuries <\/strong>are presented in Lower Belvedere. There are also changing exhibitions<\/strong> by artists from different eras.<\/p>\n In the magnificent<\/strong> stables<\/strong>, where Prince Eugene’s personal horses were once housed, you can now take a look at valuable treasures<\/strong> from the Middle Ages.<\/strong><\/p>\n Also worth mentioning are the Gold Cabinet <\/strong>– decorated with mirrors and porcelain, the story Marble Hall <\/strong>– decorated with impressive wall reliefs, ceiling paintings and sculptures, and the Grotesque Hall<\/strong> – decorated with grotesque paintings.<\/p>\n Exhibitions and special events are held in the Orangery<\/strong>, which originally served as a heated conservatory for orange trees. It has functioned as a modern exhibition hall since 2007 and is designed in the form of a white cube.<\/p>\n The palace ensemble is complemented by Belvedere 21, a pavilion originally created as the Austrian Pavilion<\/strong> for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. With its unusual design, the building is considered an architectural icon of post-war modernism.<\/strong><\/p>\n Today, at Belvedere 21 you can admire contemporary Austrian and international art,<\/strong> film and music.<\/strong> Works by internationally renowned artists are presented in the sculpture garden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When it comes to public transport<\/a>, we consider the palace itself, specifically the Upper Belvedere, as the central point within the palace complex. All the information regarding footpaths and directions will be based on this point.<\/p>\n Timetables:<\/strong><\/p>\n Vienna Network Maps:<\/strong><\/p>\n High-Speed Connections<\/a>Inner Core Zone Vienna<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Planning to stay a bit longer in Vienna and explore more of the Austrian capital?

On the south side of Upper Belvedere, a pond creates a visual doubling of the palace facade.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Belvedere Gardens include other small parks and gardens. The Chamber Garden<\/strong>, to the west of Lower Belvedere, is Prince Eugene’s former private garden. The oldest alpine garden<\/strong> in Europe is also located in the palace complex and houses a valuable historical collection of alpine plants from the Federal Gardens.
