Discover more about Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein

The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, located in the heart of Vaduz, is a prominent cultural institution dedicated to modern and contemporary art. The museum's collection includes international artworks and pieces from the national art collection of Liechtenstein, with a focus on sculptures, installations, and objects. The museum building, completed in November 2000, is an architectural landmark designed by Swiss architects Meinrad Morger, Heinrich Degelo, and Christian Kerez. Its sleek, minimalist black cube design, constructed of tinted concrete and black basalt stone, makes it a standout structure in Vaduz. River pebbles are embedded in the exterior, creating a shimmering, reflective surface. The interior features six exhibition rooms arranged around two staircases, allowing for diagonal views throughout the building. In 2015, the museum expanded with the addition of the Hilti Art Foundation building, a cube-shaped structure that complements the original museum. This expansion allowed for a broader display of art, including classical modernism and contemporary works, offering visitors a journey through 130 years of art history. The museum's collection includes works from the 19th century to the present, with a focus on abstract and minimal art, conceptual art, and Arte Povera. Artists such as Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, and Tony Cragg are featured. The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein not only showcases art but also contributes to Vaduz's cultural ambiance with its outdoor sculpture collection. The museum is located in the city center, making it easily accessible to visitors.
