Artist and artisan, art theorist and proto-installation artist, master of high-publicity performances and rival of Auguste Rodin, Medardo Rosso (b. 1858 in Turin, d. 1928 in Milan) was one of the great pioneers of modernism. mumok is dedicating a comprehensive retrospective to the Italian-French artist’s still little-known oeuvre, which will feature about ﬁfty sculptures and a large selection of photographs, photocollages, and drawings. The exhibition delves into a thorough analysis of Rosso's processual and repetitive and radical anti-heroic approach, with which the artist deﬁed all conventions of traditional sculpture. A selection of works by artists directly or indirectly inﬂuenced by Rosso — such as Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, Phyllida Barlow, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brâncuși, Edgar Degas, Alberto Giacometti, David Hammons, Eva Hesse, Marisa Merz, Robert Morris and Andy Warhol — further unpack and create a dialogue with Rosso’s equally groundbreaking and hermetic work. The “expanded” retrospective thus adheres to Rosso’s own artistic practice of not exhibiting alone but in “conversation” with others.
The exhibition, which is being organized in close collaboration with the Medardo Rosso Estate, will subsequently travel to Kunstmuseum Basel, where it will be on view from March to August 2025.

The summer palace where the Austrian royal family lived, where Princess Sissi once lived. The royal garden outside is very beautiful, you can take a carriage to tour it, and the interior decoration is also very luxurious, with more than 40 different rooms for you to visit.

If the weather is good, it is recommended to take pictures on the main facade 2 hours in advance, or take pictures 2 hours before sunset, which is better. By the way, check in the surrounding attractions. If it is a seat ticket, you should try to change the ticket as soon as possible, because the seat number is known when you change the ticket, and the location is good early.

The best museum in Vienna!!! Definitely get a map because you will get lost! It&#39;s so big and has many rooms of different art and artifacts!! Has some nice tables to eat and drink because you might need more energy!Statues, coins, jewellery, stones, mummies, paintings, everything I tell you! You also need at least 3 hours to fully see it!! Best 21 euros spent!! Worth every cent!

Love the palace in the museum, I think it&rsquo;s very worthy visiting!!! a little bit expensive, but is still very worthy. Make sure you go earlier, cause there is just too many things to see.

Quite good, the door is written not to let pictures, but no one cares or can take pictures. There is a free bathroom at the door, don&#39;t go to the bathroom next door to collect 1 euro. No need to buy a ticket, the bathroom can be used. Know the history of Sissi, there is a Chinese interpreter, scan the ticket, go upstairs and take it in the lobby. I don&#39;t know English properly.

Very fun art museum, the outside looks mysterious, but the inside is full of wonderful master works. It is also the largest collection of modern art in Central Europe. In the center of Vienna, it is very suitable for sightseeing. If you are tired, you can have a cup of coffee on the first floor. Leaning on a bench, watching the crowds coming and going, and experiencing the other side of this ancient European city.
