The Building’s Distinctive Features

A museum lives from the paintings, sculptures and objects it is home to. Beyond its role as host, the KunstHausWien is itself a work of art. The windows dance, the floor is uneven. Plants grow out of and along the humpy façade. Over which irregular mosaics are scattered. What Hundertwasser has created here exists nowhere else. The KunstHausWien is also the only building in Vienna designed by the artist that is open to visitors every day of the year. Another building created by Hundertwasser is located only a few metres away: the Hundertwasserhaus. Belonging to the Stadt Wien, the apartment building, unlike the museum, is not accessible to the public; but it is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture.
