Built by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt for Prince Eugene of Savoy, the palace complex has provided a home for fine art since its inception and continues to do so today, with a stunning variety of collections and exhibitions. In 1777, the Belvedere became one of the world's first public museums. By ordering its collection according to schools of art it greatly influenced the museum world as well as the field of art history. The intention behind the creation of the Moderne Galerie in 1903 - to present Austrian art in an international context - remains its core orientation to the present day. This book opens up new research on the history of the museum. It answers questions such as, how were the exhibitions conceived, which audiences have been addressed, and what narratives and mechanisms of inclusion/exclusion are discernible?
Anniversary publication of the Belvedere
The Belvedere in Vienna epitomizes the changes that have taken place over the course of three centuries in the concept of what constitutes a museum. Originally built by Prince Eugene of Savoy to enhance his prestige as a prince, under Maria Theresa, the Upper Belvedere became one of the world's first public museums. The idea of presenting Austrian art in an international context, which in 1903 motivated the establishment of the Modern Gallery in the Lower Belvedere, remains the key objective of this world-famous cultural institution.
In this critical homage, renowned authors explore enduring questions that transcend the different epochs, such as : What ordering concepts are evident in art presentation ? How contemporary were these presentations in an international context ? What kind of public were they aimed at ?
