The Princely Liechtenstein Collections house exceptional holdings of creations produced at the Protected content in Vienna – only the second such enterprise to be founded in Europe. It was here that the first successful experiments in painting with a vibrant colour palette took place, on this fragile material that would come to characterize a whole epoch. In the contemporary international competition for innovative products and economic superiority, porcelain played an important role as a financial and commercial object. But it also changed dining culture by enabling dazzling displays of wealth and aristocratic status.

Belvedere 21 invites you to its Winter Festival! Enjoy free admission to the current exhibitions and take part in a diverse program. The event kicks off with the presentation of the exhibition catalog for Kazuko Miyamoto. Following this, eyewitnesses and experts will discuss the history of squatting in Vienna and utopian visions of communal living. Highlights include the performance Silk and Beer (Wages for Housework) by Monster Chetwynd and a concert by Eva Billisich with the group PFARRKAFFEE. The evening will conclude with a DJ set to keep the mood lively. Save the date!
