What to see
Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928 to 2000) was an Austrian artist who called the house “a house in harmony with nature”. The three stops are near each other.

- The Hundertwasserhaus (from outside, free). Hundertwasser designed it with the architects Josef Krawina and Peter Pelikan. The façade is in blocks of yellow, blue, red, green and white, no two windows match, the floors inside are undulating, and more than 200 trees and shrubs grow on the roof, terraces and balconies. The Kegelgasse pedestrian area has benches and fountains for looking at it. Austria’s tourist board suggests early morning, 7:30 to 9:30, for photographs.
- Hundertwasser Village (free). A former car tyre factory that Hundertwasser turned into a small shopping village, opened in 1991, with a central square, a café and shops.
- The KunstHausWien, Museum Hundertwasser (€16). The museum, which Hundertwasser founded, is in a renovated factory at Untere Weißgerberstraße 13, five minutes’ walk from the house. It shows his paintings, graphics, tapestries and architectural sketches, and temporary exhibitions. The current shows are Seeds, Reclaiming Roots, Sowing Futures, The Institute of Queer Ecology and I Wish We Had More Time. Café Friedlich in the museum serves vegetarian and vegan food.
The order that works: the house early in the morning, then the village, then the museum when it opens at 10:00.
