Museum Liaunig
An Austrian Collector’s Museum
Fully integrated into the nature of the Corinthian countryside, the Museum Liaunig is at once restrained and spectacular. An outstanding example of contemporary museum architecture, it creates spaces for the Liaunig collections whose focus is on Austrian art from the post-war era to the present.
description
“I am a collector by nature”, Herbert Liaunig says about his passion for collecting in an interview. Knowledgeable and passionate about art, Herbert Liaunig has assembled his collections and has presented them in major theme-based exhibitions at his museum. Aside from the focus on Austrian art from the post-war era to the present, a high quality standard is also evident in the collections of portrait miniatures, glasses, and African gold. The richly illustrated catalogue presents his collecting in its full breadth.
press commentaries
Der Band besticht nicht zuletzt mit seiner reichen, hochwertig gedruckten Bebilderung und ist für Kunstinteressierte eine Fundgrube herausragender österreichischer Kunst nach 1945.
