The private art collections of the Prince von und zu Liechtenstein contain masterpieces from the early Renaissance to the High Baroque era, including highlights from the oeuvres of Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, Anthony van Dyck or Raphael.
The collections also include unique and precious holdings of prints, bronzes of the
16th and 17th century, pietra dura objects, furniture, porcelain and tapestries that once graced the castles and palaces owned by the family.

The first major example of High Baroque architecture in Vienna, the CITY PALACE is currently undergoing a programme of extensive renovation scheduled for completion
in spring 2013. United in a harmonious ensemble, Baroque stucco ceilings and opulent Rococo Revival interiors with their original furniture and masterpieces of art from the Biedermeier ara, from Amerling to Waldmüller complete the spectacular ambiance.
The two upper floors are accessed via one of the finest and most imposing
Baroque stairways in Vienna.

Experience this synthesis of the arts on public guided tours.
These will be held on special Fridays in German only.
