The building itself is a key work of Viennese Art Nouveau with its beautiful laurel leaf gilt dome roof. It is a must for Klimt fans as it hosts the famous Beethoven Frieze.
It also hosts a number of important contemporary art exhibitions. I think it provides a nice contrast to the more traditional art galleries in the city.
