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.
