Künstlerhaus am Karlsplatz was built in 1868 and has remained a vibrant nerve center of Viennese culture. The kuhausverein association founded in 1861 not only runs the time-honored exhibition facility, but also a movie house, a theater (brut Wien) and a restaurant.

In addition to hosting major exhibitions in the main building (almost 2,000 square meters of exhibition space) Künstlerhaus also boasts a wide-ranging program of events. It includes events accompanying exhibitions, international movie series at the Künstlerhaus cinema, a theater program, DJ line-ups and the annual summer festival.

Live events, largely masterminded by young artists, are also held in the gallery located at the exit to the subway mall (“Künstlerhaus-Passage”).

Daily 10a.m.–6p.m., Thu 10a.m.–9p.m.
