Kunst Haus Wien

The KunstHausWien is a museum in Vienna, designed by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This museum houses the world's only permanent exhibition of Hundertwasser's works, and also hosts regular temporary exhibitions of other artists. The museum was created through the renovation of a 1892 building, which was designed in typical Hundertwasser style, with wavy, undulating floors and a notable lack of straight lines. Bright, glaring colours are used throughout, and foliage abounds. There is a fountain in the foyer, and a restaurant with abundant plant life reminiscent of a winter garden. An unevenly winding staircase leads to the main part of the exhibition on the upper floors. The museum has a total exhibition area of 4,000 square meters, with the two lower floors housing the permanent exhibits and the third and fourth floors hosting temporary international exhibitions
