Wien Museum Karlsplatz

Austria

Before you go in, look at what you are standing in front of. The building on Karlsplatz was the first new museum built in Austria after the Second World War, designed by Oswald Haerdtl and opened on 23 April 1959. For decades it remained the only museum built from scratch in the Second Republic. It closed in 2019 for a general renovation and an ambitious extension, and reopened on 6 December 2023, reworked by Ferdinand Čertov and Winkler + Ruck Architekten. The permanent exhibition has been free since then, so the only thing you need to bring is time.
