Arnold Schönberg Center

Schloss Belvedere to the Canal


This brilliant repository of Arnold Schönberg’s archival legacy is a cultural centre and celebration of the Viennese school of the early 20th century, honouring the Viennese-born composer, painter, teacher, theoretician and innovator known for his 12-tone technique. The exhibition hall hosts intimate classical concerts, which in-the-know Viennese flock to.
