Itinerary
Hundertwasser Museum in KUNST HAUS WIEN was founded by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, one of the most important Austrian artists of the 20th century. The unique museum, not far from the Hundertwasserhaus, follows the philosophical and creative principles of the famous exceptional artist. On several exhibition levels, the Museum Hundertwasser combines the most important aspects of his work and shows the world’s largest collection of his paintings, prints, tapestries and architectural designs. In Vienna’s first “green museum”, visitors can also experience the visionary ecological commitment of Friedensreich Hundertwasser – he experimented with green roofs and placed trees in the facades. In addition, KUNST HAUS WIEN presents comprehensive and outstanding photography exhibitions with renowned artists who have written photographic history on the one hand and young contemporary positions on the other, thus offering the photography scene a central platform for dealing with the medium.

Reviews
Nice experience in Hundertwasser museum. A lot of to see... Even disaster in early 2025 in pictures and videos. I recommend it to book and visit
A man before his time, & uniquely himself in so many different forms of art. For him, art is the foundation of life. Unlike many or the artists of his time, he lived by his beliefs in making good. I love his understanding of the spiral as a model for life.
Seeing the work of this quirky architect/artist/philosopher was one of my favorite experiences in Vienna. Don’t miss this, his grand little museum and have coffee or lunch for sure in the cafe. Just whimsical and wonderful and you’ll leave talking or if you’re alone you’ll be smiling. His philosophy is that we belong as one with nature - and that joy is important in life. Glorious museum. Great gift shop, fantastic terrace/garden restaurant and absolutely fascinating exhibits. (I also enjoyed the special exhibit of kinetic art that was shown on the top floor, though this exhibit is due to cycle off soon). Do not miss this museum, especially if you are a fan of Escher or Alice in Wonderland.
This was one of the highlights of my trip to Vienna. I don't understand ppl who don't like this center. Hunterwasser was brilliant, completely ahead of his time. Pioneer of the environmental art movement. He cared about how the art was made and printed just as much as the art itself. He had a holistic vision of art and social justice. His opinions and attitudes also reflect so much of the anthroposophic, Steiner lifestyle. No idea if this was intended or not. His architecture was crap though, ugly and 90s. Overstimulating. Should have kept to the painting.
I ended up here by mistake. My mum confused this artist with another one she wanted to see. I found the art a bit strange and not that interesting. I liked the painted columns and the exterior of the house. I'm from New Zealand, and this artist came here, so reading about that was interesting.
Very interesting, such a character and visionary. Interesting and challenging art and house. The third floor temporary exhibition was really poor, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
One of my favorite museums of all times. The Viator voucher system did not work, though. I was not able to pull up my tickets. The man working the desk gave me tickets without scanning.
Honest and respectful down to earth art of excellent quality. Should certainly not be inferior to the exuberant glitz of the lavish baroque and neo architecture in the cityscape. Hundertwasser is a breath of fresh air in the decadent glamour.
I've been twice, but I always like to bring people for the first time to see and enjoy Hundertwasser's paintings and the ambiance of the museum itself. After the tour, I always buy ginger tea in a box that imitates the building itself. And, of course, coffee in the beautiful garden of the museum.I always visit the Hundertwasser house, which is a few blocks away (where people actually live) and across the street the Hundertwasser village, an old factory that has been converted into a souvenir shop in the style of Hundertwasser himself.
Fascinating visit that made me discover a great artist that I was not aware of, Hundertwasser. A visionary, talented painter, architect and probably philosopher. The museum is very well done, full of breathtaking paintings. The building itself captures the essence of Hundertwasser’s philosophy and style, in stark contrast with the ordinary, austere buildings of Viena. The café is delightful. Must do!
We knew nothing about this artist and decided to go on a whim on our last day in Vienna (when we were on Hapsburg overload). So glad we did! The artist was way ahead of his time in terms of the environment and living in nature. Plus his work is beautiful! I think this building has recently been renovated and reopened so don't mind the older reviews. Tour this museum and then walk down the street to the Hundertwasserhaus. The cafe was great too!
A very nice museum which provides an overview of paintings made by Hundertwasser, his impressive biography and some pieces of art (architecture model), all very colourfull. The museum is rather small so you probably will spend at the most 1 hour. There is also a very nice café downstairs. A few streets away one can see the Hundertwasserhaus, with its amazing facade. An iconic building of Vienna not to be missed.
Interesting architecture, fascinating environmental exhibit, but paintings were not to our taste and floors were not disabled-friendly.
Here we found the most amazing artist ,Hunderwasser- which was a joy after such a long walk to find it (Its not really easy to find ) the quirky cafe there too was great fun and the staff were most friendly . There is lift access if you need it - the staff were most helpful.Beware the floors beneath you undulate and if you are using crutches of sticks can un nerve you a little.
We had already seen so much art that we were rather tired by the time we got here but we were so glad we did! Whether you know Hundertwasser or whether you don't this is the most charming museum in which to enjoy his amazing work. I've never seen so many of his gorgeous painting. The museum itself is also glorious even down to the loos, the shop and the cafe where the cakes were well up to other Viennese patisseries. This is an absolutely don't miss.
This is an exhibition of paintings. I recommend a visit if you enjoy the style. It was not too busy, and we enjoyed our time. There is a nice coffeeshop as well with good coffee and drinks.
The museum is very interesting and not tiring at all! The negative part is that it is much too expensive for its size - 11 euros for adults, comparing with much bigger museums such as Albertina museum (17,90 euro) or Kunsthistorisches Museum (18 euro)! In addition, the lady at the lobby was very rude with us. Finally, although the ticket was not at a reasonable price there was no aircondition in a very hot day.
We originally were interested in seeing the building, which is a must. the exhibits were very interesting and worth the visit by far. The cafe in the courtyard was also nice and beautiful
Very rarely do you find a museum that inspires you as much, here you can see a small portion of a lifetime of work, as an architect he has major building works in lots of countries his art is amazing yet he has also chosen to live off the grid in rural NZ which is the inspiring aspect. Where with all the success he has chosen an off the grid simple life with nature but in doing so has influenced people of his second home with an amazing art gallery building in Whangerei NZ. What a legend! Walk 5 blocks down the road and see his apartment building and village shops.
This museum requires an exchange for prepaid museum entrance set date at the ticket sales desk. Seems like bureaucracy, extra processing and printing. Museum on several floors, no lift in sight. Very different views expressed on the colourful art, this artist certainly not lacking in self belief or low self esteem. ? Challenging statements to provoke exchange. Didn't take to his fixed views much. The best part was the pleasant cafe outside, where cold drinks were welcome and refreshed me
Museum is very nice and gives a nice picture of the artist and his philosophy. The guy selling the tickets to the museum was extremely rude though and took away basically any joy of the visit and should not be in a hospitality job.
We had a very insightful and educating visit to the Hundertwasser museum. After visiting the buildings which seemed a little to touristy for me personally the museum was a welcome surprise. It gave a greater insight into the meaning and vision behind his art and life which I found fascinating. As I have a disability my husband and I used the lift accompanied by a member of staff who had worked there for some time and know Hundertwasser, he was very helpful and shared some of his knowledge. He couldn't of done more to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Beautiful and intimate exhibition. We actually visited in September 2019 but can't enter date in appropriate box
Visited for the second time, this time with teenage kids - this is a must-see in Wien. The photography exhibition was fantastic, and it was included in the family ticket price. Catch it while it's there.
It’s a intimate and beautiful museum for Hundertwasser lovers. 2 floors only with very few rooms. The works of Hundertwasser are colorful and the building is also designed by his artistic spirit. There is also a guest exhibition that is changed periodically which I skipped due to time shortage. I spent about an hour in his exhibition.
Great little museum especially if you love vibrant joyous colours and patterns. Love his work. Wonderful little museum devoted to Hundertwasser’s work. In addition there was a wonderful photo exhibit. Highly recommend a visit
Very intresting museum with plenty of the artists paintings and designs on show as well as thorough details of his phylosophical views on art, architecture and life in general. Its bright, colorful and beautiful. The building itself is beautiful and unique too and rwminded us of a Gaudi design. I definitley recommend.
Friends had told us not to miss the Museum Hundertwasser while visiting Vienna. I am an artist and an art lover and this museum is a gem, probably not listed among the must see art museums in Vienna. We loved everything about it, including the museum building itself, designed to reflect the art philosophy of Hundertwasser himself. No photos allowed unfortunately but I bought a book to keep my memories alive. Worth at least two hours of your time.
Vienna is not just the city of Klimt, the 20th century artist Friedenreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser (name at birth Friedich Stowasser) added colour and some deep thinking to last century's culture. His rejecting of the straight line, his perception of the spiral as an essential shape, his proclamation of the right to windows, and his ecological outlook made him a true avant-gardist. His museum is small, you can do it in an hour, and it will brighten up your day. The museum shop has good quality Hundertwasser parafernalia. There is a brief viseo on his life and ideas on the second floor.
I didn't know about this place or the artist before coming here. You walk in via a cafe- review at the end] and head into an unevenly floored building with a few levels - staircases. Entry with the Vienna Card is free or its E10 entry. The first few levels are all about the artist Hundertwasser and you are not allowed to take photos. I can honestly say I loved this place and learned a lot. There is a movie on the first floor, plus works of art and paintings as you head up. His work reminds me of a combination of Picasso, Gaudi and others mixed together. Be sure to visit the gift shop as they have some cool items at reasonable prices. The top floors have a photographic exhibition where you are allowed to take photos [though I don't know why]. Not far away are the actual 3D examples of his work in the form of houses and can be found scattered around Vienna and in the gardens of the Grand Hotel in Zell Am See. After viewing the museum - about an hour, went to the cafe and they have Austrian food to choose from of an average standard, but a lovely setting to sit in. By far all of this was my favourite place to visit.
I went on a wander through the streets of Vienna as a friend had recommended I see the hundertwasser house. I was mesmerised and when I popped into the shop to buy a postcard the woman serving me recommended the kunsthuis. I loved it. I have always enjoyed the work of Klee, Klimt and Gaudi so this was mesmerising and such a lovely surprise. Floor was uneven and everything followed 100h2o’s philosophy. I particularly liked how he felt about trees.
Lovely to visit the whole setting and the exhibits but 3rd and 4th floor were closed. It’s recommend for those who are interested in artistic things
If you think that Hundertwasser is just quirky houses and courtyards you are sorely mistaken. This is a small museum but with a wealth of art pieces! There are only a couple of rooms, spread out on 2 floors, but there are so many amazing paintings that the entrance ticket is absolutely worth it!
This museum has everything even for someone who does or doesn't like art... Lots of great things to see inside as well as a cool building
Kunst House Wien is a museum and art gallery dedicated to the quirky works of Hundertwasser. The artist had a unique style which is reflected in the design of the building. I knew 100H20 (an actual nickname) more as an architect than a painter so we learned a lot at this exhibit. There are two floors with a large collection of his work and information on his life. There is also a floor for other exhibits (we did not pay for access to this floor), a gift shop and a large and reasonably priced cafe where we had a great lunch. This is quite quirky and definitely worth a visit
Having come across Hundertwasser in the last 3 years or so, I was excited to visit this museum to be able to explore more of his work. I do not consider myself an art follower by any means, simply appreciate pieces that make me happy! Really enjoyed seeing not only his art but some of his architecture too. Would be interested to have learned more about his life though. Loved the museum shop - purchased some wool designed after his style to make a pair of socks, that I will treasure!
Wow, it was just a couple of rooms with Hudertwasser paintings. Have you heard about such painter before? Well, now you did. Do not recommend to visit, all beauty of his building is outside and for free.

We had made a detour to see the flats designed by hundertwasser and noticed a display of some of his other buildings. Turned out this was close by and I am so glad we found it. 4 floors of diverse and imaginative art, architectural models, environmental designs, stamps, posters, video installations. The building itself is a piece of art. Onsite cafe. Fascinating. Best thing we did in Vienna. Teenager loved it especially as been to Belvedere earlier so we could compare and Contrast. This should be better publicised but glad it is not as we had it all to ourselves.
<p>One has to like his style of painting which we both do, and so the trip to his gallery was well worth it.</p>
It is the house museum dedicated to Hundertwasser and his works, both pictorial and infrastructural, completed around the world. A truly interesting story with some very particular works, but which I liked a lot. The two floors dedicated to the artist really engaged and fascinated me. The museum is housed in one of the houses he designed and renovated, while the most famous houses and the Hundertwasser village (housed in an old workshop) are located about a 5-minute walk from here (the houses, being inhabited, cannot be visited). Access to the museum is free starting this year with the NOE Karte. Finally.
It's worth a visit. There is a lot of information about the artist and exhibited artworks on two floors. However, we would not visit the integrated cafe again. It was expensive and the Kaiserschmarren was dry and not freshly prepared.
Particular experience in its simplicity. Easily accessible by public transport. Engaging sensory experience. Too bad about the closed floors... but it may have been simple bad luck... still recommended
Delusional!! Collection of colorful paintings, the façade is non-common, the detail of the stair barrier surprising, the courtyard incredible
The visit of the Kunsthaus Wien is the Hundertwasser Museum was a highlight of our visit to Vienna. Very good concept, great performance of his works. Well organized and friendly staff. At the end in the cafe with top service and outstanding cheesecake. Problematic here are poor reviews from people who apparently do not even know where they have been. Kunst Haus Wien has nothing to do with the Hundertwasserhaus and the Touri HotSpot.
It is a building designed in the unmistakable style of the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and houses a large collection of paintings by the same painter. The building itself is already worth seeing: irregular floor, spiral staircase, colored tiles, trees in the building... And Hundertwasser’s work is worth seeing, especially in a city with as much art of so many different kinds as Vienna. On the top floor there are usually temporary exhibitions by different artists. Something highly recommended in this museum is its bar / cafe: well priced, very friendly people and good food. I especially recommend your Kaiserschmarrn (the typical dessert of Vienna). It was the best I had in my days in town.
Were visiting there as a larger family group. There were also smaller children (from 6 years). It was suitable for everyone and there was a lot to admire both in terms of art and architecture. Price of 25 € for a family is still in the frame. However, it must be said that the lady at the checkout was very anxious to find the cheapest total price for our cobbled together group. TOP!
The facade of the building is already worth a visit. It houses a museum mainly dedicated to the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The building itself is a work of art, for example, you would not let the visit pass without going to your toilets. The collection of paintings by the interesting artist. There are also temporary exhibitions by other modern artists. It is a visit that does not leave indifferent.
We really like the museum, the exhibitions! Very alternative, different and with many colors :) we chose to purchase the Vienna pass (which in our opinion is well worth it) so this museum was included! We did not get a good impression of the service at the museum café: very unfriendly service (supposedly because we ordered only a few pancakes)
The Kunst Haus Wien (Hundertwasser) is an absolute MUST if you are in Vienna. We were surprised about the Vielverskwit Hundertwasser and we learned a lot from de, we had no idea.
