A New Museum is Open

The MUSEUM LIAUNIG, industrialist and art collector Herbert W. Liaunig’s project in Neuhaus in Carinthia, opened at the end of August 2008. The new museum houses Liaunig’s collection of contemporary art and, as an interesting counterpoint, a collection of Akan gold objects.

Herbert W. Liaunig, “The museum represents the fulfilment of a long-term wish of our family to create an adequate home for our collection. At the same time, as the only location displaying an overview of Austrian Post-war art in a permanent exhibition, it closes one of the major gaps in the Austrian museum landscape.”

The museum is open from May 1, 2010 until October 31, 2010 with a new exhibition.

The museum is accessible through guided tours for interested members of the general public by appointment only. Several tours will be offered daily, Wednesday through Sunday. Appointments for 2010 can be made beginning April 1, 2010. No admission for children unter the age of 12.
