The Ernst Fuchs Museum in Vienna is a real treasure for art lovers. It houses an impressive collection of works by the Austrian artist (draughtsman, painter, sculptor and architect) Ernst Fuchs, who is best known for his surrealist paintings.
The story
Otto Wagner had the Art Nouveau building he designed built between 1886 and 1888 as a summer residence on the edge of the Vienna Woods. Otto Wagern and his children lived in the villa themselves until 1911, when they finally sold it
In 1972, the painter Ernst Fuchs bought the property for 14 million schillings, had the villa renovated and adapted and set up his studio here. It was personally designed and furnished by Ernst Fuchs, giving the museum a very special atmosphere.
The museum today
Countless works by Ernst Fuchs can be seen in the exhibition rooms, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, stained glass and much more. The works are organised thematically and provide an insight into the artist's various creative periods. Fuchs sat here Placido Domingo, Oskar Werner and Falco Model.
A highlight of the museum is certainly the "Apocalypse Cycle", a series of 24 large-format paintings that depict the Revelation of St John in an impressive way.
Also well worth seeing is the fountain with Well house and fountain in Byzantine style in the park. The Moses Fountain is colourfully and brilliantly covered with Tiffany glass mosaics. In addition to the works of Ernst Fuchs, there are also changing exhibitions by other artists who explore themes such as surrealism, mysticism and esotericism.
If you are in Vienna and interested in art, you should not miss a visit to the Ernst Fuchs Museum. It is a unique and fascinating experience that you will not soon forget.
