From the Middle Ages to the Present

The art collection is a key part of Lower’s Austria State Collections and comprises some 60.000 objects, including masterpieces from past centuries and outstanding contemporary art.

A side from important works from the Middle Ages and the Baroque era, the collection is focused on the period between the nineteenth and the twenty-first century. It covers all forms of visual art – from prints, drawings, photographs, and paintings all the way to sculptures, media art, and installations. The collection also comprises numerous donations and estates, such as those of Leo Navratil and Christa Hauer-Fruhmann. Now, after more than one hundred years of its history, the collection will be housed for the first time in a museum that is dedicated solely to art.
