Lonely Planet review

This fine gallery is the brainchild of Agnes and Karlheinz Essl, who built it in order to exhibit their collection of art from the 20th and 21st centuries. Expect to see a plethora of big names: Gerhard Richter, Hermann Nitsch, Georg Baselitz and Elke Krystufek are but a few. The construction itself is the work of Austrian architect Heinz Tesar and incorporates clean white lines, an abundance of natural light and plenty of open space.
