ML Museum Liaunig, Neuhaus, Austria – When Heinz Tesar’s museum for the Essl Collection was opened in Klosterneuburg, near Vienna nine years ago it was Austria’s first newly built private museum and seemed likely to long remain the only one of its kind. However a worthy successor soon came along in the form of the Liaunig Museum in which a new generation of architects interprets the phenomenon “art” in its own way.
Located in the scenic regions of Southern Austria, the project is built high up in the landscape. Museum Liaunig has a remarkable architecture that protrudes out on two sides over a steep-sided landscape. The cut through the hill marks a punctual intervention in nature.
