Vienna Belvedere Palaces Galleries, Austria - Art Museums

Museum

There are two Baroque palaces erected for Prince Eugene, the Unteres Belvedere and the Oberes Belvedere. They now abode the three museums of the Austrian Gallery: the Museum of Medieval Art, the Austrian Baroque Museum and the Museum of 19th and 20th C. Austrian Art. In 1995 the palaces are to endure complete restoration with the 19th and 20th C. galleries being redecorated so that the provisional closure of exhibitions is possible during this period. From the Oberes Belvedere there is gateway to the Alpine Garden. With the Château of Versailles in mind, Prince Eugene, who defeated the Turks, had a summer home constructed on the deserted slope of the Glacis by the Rennweg.
