It is the largest art museum in the country and one of the most
important museums worldwide.
The museum's primary collections
are those of the Habsburgs.
The interiors of the museums are
lavishly decorated with marble, stucco ornamentation, gold-leaf and
murals.
The buildings are set in a Baroque park landscape in the third
district, on the south-eastern edge of its centre.
Its famous
art collection includes works ranging from the Middle Ages to the
present day, including the world's largest collection of Gustav
Klimt paintings.
The mumok, a striking dark grey cuboid, is the largest museum in
Central Europe for art since modernism.
Mumok has an unusual
collection featuring important works from Classic Modernism, Pop
Art, Fluxus, and Viennese Actionism to present-day film and media
art.
