Art and nature are in harmony at the KunstHausWien. As our founder Friedensreich Hundertwasser wished. And we remain committed to this vision today – witnessed by our thematic orientation as a centre for art and ecology. But the KunstHausWien is a location where issues like climate change, recycling and urban development have a place that goes far beyond exhibitions. Sustainability even plays a substantial role in our daily operations. All processes, no matter if in the administration or the museum, are optimised to limit their environmental impact. And these efforts have been recognised – we were accredited with the Austrian Ecolabel in 2018 and successfully recertified in 2023. As the first Green Museum we are not only a role model for the cultural sector but take our sociopolitical responsibility as a public institution very seriously. An overview of how we do this is available on this page, while our detailed sustainability policy is accessible here.
