The Belvedere museum upper level is laid out very nicely, and it was easy to navigate around the museum. It was not too crowded, and I could enjoy every piece of art.

Palazzo mozzafiato, soprattutto esternamente, con giardino curato e vista spettacolare. La pinacoteca è molto interessante, con diverse collezioni suddivise per periodi. Molto ricca la collezione di Klimt.

Ich konnte sofort zum Eingang gehen, top! Kein Stehen an der Kasse, kein Stehen vor dem Zulass, man kann einfach rein gehen, wenn man die Uhrzeit einhält.

Man, woman, their relationship to each other, their different gender, runs through the entire exhibition and the life's work of RENATE BERTLMANN, performance artist with a political message, sympathetic, courageous woman. It is a pity, if not downright "unforgivable", that her MESSERROSENFELD of 2019 was neither exhibited in the Austria - Pavilion of the BIENNALE ARTE DI VENEZIA nor even found any mention, neither textual nor pictorial. Nothing ! This is inexplicable. Also the ticket - and guide - staff was totally uninformed in this matter ? How, Where, What, Why ?

It was easy and intuitive to buy tickets online and that's what saved us, as we were returning that day and the tickets at the palace were already sold out. It was through the app that we managed to buy the tickets. At the appointed time, in the correct queue, everything went smoothly.
