Discover more about Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein

The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, located in the heart of Vaduz, is a prominent museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art. The museum's collection includes international artworks and the national art collection of Liechtenstein. The building itself, designed by Swiss architects Meinrad Morger, Heinrich Degelo, and Christian Kerez, is a striking architectural statement. Its black cube exterior, constructed of tinted concrete and black basalt stone with embedded river pebbles, makes it a visually appealing landmark. Inside, the museum offers spacious exhibition rooms spread over two levels. The design incorporates natural light through a glass ceiling on the upper level. The museum's collection emphasizes three-dimensional artworks, including sculptures, installations, and objects. Special attention is given to Arte Povera and post-minimal art. The museum showcases its collection through temporary presentations alongside major exhibitions of international 20th and 21st-century art. In 2015, the Kunstmuseum expanded with the addition of the Hilti Art Foundation exhibition building. This cube-shaped extension, designed by Morger Partner Architekten, maintains a unified presence with the original museum. The Hilti Art Foundation displays a rotating selection of paintings, sculptures, and objects from classical modernism to contemporary art. Visitors can explore works by artists such as Gauguin, Picasso, and Klee. The museum's architecture, with its 'black box' exterior and 'white cube' interior, creates a unique environment for experiencing art.
