Reopening of the Upper Belvedere
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
From 1. July, 2020
€4 online ticket in July, two new paintings by #gustavklimt, a studio for art education, more accessibility, digital audio guide
Short vacation for €4: the Upper Belvedere is reopening its doors on July 1 with this fantastic offer. The involuntary closure has been put to good use: the display of the permanent collection has been updated and the technical infrastructure improved, a new studio for art education completed.
The summer months will see an education program that focuses on Austria and its nine provinces. For everyone who would like to delve deeper into art history, there is now an audio guide available via app on your own personal smartphone.
Stella Rollig, Belvedere CEO: “With its unique architecture and world-famous art collection, the Upper Belvedere is ready to be rediscovered this summer. No other museum can offer anywhere near as profound an overview of Austrian art as the Belvedere.”
The rehanging of the collection in the Upper Belvedere presents a multifaceted narrative of eight hundred years of Austrian art history. There are new objects to be seen in many areas of the collection, whether new acquisitions or new loans. Thematically, the focus is
on the collection areas Baroque, Biedermeier, and #vienna around 1900. A sparser hanging increases the quality of your visit and makes it easier to comply with physical distancing regulations.
Two new loans from the #gustavklimt | Wien 1900-Private Foundation (Klimt Foundation) are worth particular mention. The directorate of the foundation, Peter Weinhäupl and Sandra Tretter, has enabled us to presentat Klimt’s paintings Two Woman Friends (1907) and Girl in Green (c. 1898). The Bride (1917/18), likewise a loan from the Klimt Foundation, will remain on display at the Belvedere.
In line with the motto “vacation in Austria,” a room has been dedicated to the summer retreat, with three of the famous landscape paintings that #gustavklimt painted at Lake Attersee on display: Forester’s House in Weissenbach I (1914), Schloss Kammer on Lake Attersee (1909/10), and Avenue of Schloss Kammer Park (1912). The Country House (c.1908) by Koloman Moser and the Swimming Pool (1905) by Ludwig Ferdinand Graf complete this summer excursion.
In the field of Baroque art, the popular “Character Heads” by Franz Xaver Messerschmidt can once again be admired in the side octagon of the palace.
The second floor is home to the largest Biedermeier collection in the world. A room here has been dedicated entirely to portrait painting and houses works by the most important portraitists of the Biedermeier period, like Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Franz Eybl, and
Friedrich von Amerling.
Likewise on the second floor visitors can admire the two works acquired last year with the proceeds of a fundraising dinner: Bird Flight (1951/52) by Erika Giovanna Klien and Les anges de la paix (1944) by Greta Freist.
Those who want to use their short vacation in the Belvedere to travel back in time to the Middle Ages, should see the In-Sight exhibition The Master of Mondsee, which has been extended until September 13, 2020. Also still on display is the Carlone Contemporary
intervention by Renate Bertlmann.
During the summer months the Belvedere is offering nine museum walks, during which stories from the history of Austria’s provinces will be told that relate to the Belvedere’s collection.
New this summer is a digital audio guide for an in-depth art experience. 120 works are presented via the smartphone app Smartify: download the app, scan the picture with your phone, and delve into the work’s history. The app is available free of charge for both
Android and iOS.
The Upper Belvedere is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
To celebrate its reopening, the Belvedere is offering its Companion Guide to the collection and its brand-new architecture guide for the special price of €19.90 instead of €29.80 in the museum shop.
The Belvedere is also taking part in the summer offer for the BundesMuseenCard. From July 1 to September 15 this “multi-museum ticket” for one visit each to all eight federal museums costs just €19 instead of €59. Available at the Belvedere ticket desks and via www.bundesmuseencard.at.
