ML Museum Liaunig – Neuhaus – Carinthia – Austria
Filed under Austria
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.
Anchored into the site the new museum emerges more like a work of art. Only a small part of the outstretched museum building is visible. Cut through the hill, the main body of the museum slices through a densely wooded, steep-sided embankment, providing an unparalleled view over the Drava river seventy metres below. The building cantilevers an impressive thirty metres out, over a steep bank towards the oncoming road – clearly visible to
the approaching visitors.
