Location - Wiener Philharmonikergasse 9 Rupertinum Museum, sister museum to the Museum of Modern Art, is a great place to go if you need some modern inspiration and respite from the more traditional art museums. This museum has a story to tell. The building that now houses the museum dates back to 1350. It was used as a training college for priests-in-the-making and officials. The "Collegium Rupertinum", as it was called, was further renovated in the Early Baroque style in 1633. It was used for hundered of years as a seminary and later as quarters for a student residence (until 1974). Take a look at the fantastic collection of works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Alfred Kubin. Austrian Expressionism also features with works by Hans Fronius, Herbert Boeckl, Eduard Bäumer.
