Big spaces fill out with modern art. I visited the Museum when they had the Dont Smile exhibition. The staff were extremelly helpful, as I do not speak German, they provided me with an English written information about the exhibition. It is big on size but quite small in terms of content. Then you can enjoyed some Sushi or browse for some souvenirs. It is worthy to give a visit as it is right at the center of Vaduz.
The collection is solely modern art - mostly sculptures, film and photography. While I was there there appeared to be two special exhibits - one about lens based art, and another sort of performance art space with various rooms set up.They had some interesting pieces and it is worth going if you are an art fan - but for casual museum goers (or more traditionalists) - they may not find this one worthwhile.
The Liechtenstein Kunstmuseum (Liechtenstein Museum of Fine Arts) has regularly changing exhibits, mostly displaying modern art and modern art installations. There is also a permanent exhibit of the Prince's own collection, but it is only a very modest part of his large collection. Don't expect to see cultural or traditional items in this museum. You will have to go across the street to the Landesmuseum. The Kunstmuseum is to display art and not reflect the traditional history of this small country.The Kunstmuseum in itself is very interesting from an architectural point of view. It is a “black box” of tinted concrete and black basalt stone.
Firstly I must say I liked the building, but I was less enamered by its content. Maybe I am being a little hard but when compared to the Tate modern it did not begin to compare in any context. Still others may think differently, so if its your bag give it a go.
We saw a photo exhibit which was wonderful. The café had lovely food offerings and plenty of seating. Very spacious. Don't miss it.
The building is fantastic and service friendly and professional, but that's about it! We are not modern art lovers but can appreciate good art. The modern "art" exhibits on display were ridiculous and laughable. Even if you are a modern lover, there is no way that you would find this of value of any kind... a complete waste of time!
The museum was a disappointment. The Prince of Liechtenstein has a large collection of old art, but this collection is situated in Vienna. In this museum they have only some modern art pieces and they had only 2 rooms open.
I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit concerning architecture and envirnonmental furniture. I toured the Kunstmuseum for approximately one hour. I'm glad I visited Kunstmuseum, but I was much more impressed by the Landesmuseum of Vaduz where I spent around two hours.
As I read some of reviews, and as I remember because I have more than 10 years ago being in Vaduz, I valuate as proper the tittle Worth a look if you love contemporary art
A very well appointed gallery, with ever changing exhibits, all labelled in english and german.
