Lonely Planet review

The KunstHausWien (Art House Vienna), with its bulging ceramics, lack of straight lines and colourful tilework, is another of Hundertwasser's inventive creations. It's is something of a paean in honour of Hundertwasser, displaying his paintings, graphics, tapestry, philosophy, ecology and architecture. There are even a couple of films about him. The gallery also puts on quality temporary exhibitions featuring other artists.

Hundertwasser's quotes are everywhere; some of his pronouncements are annoyingly didactic or smack of old hippydom ('each raindrop is a kiss from heaven'), but they're often thought-provoking. Be sure to wander to the rooftop where you'll find a shady patch of grass under the grove of trees.

Guided tours leave at on Sundays.
