Liechtenstein Museum – Vienna<\/p><\/div>Named after the princely House of Liechtenstein<\/strong>, one of Europe’s oldest noble houses, the Liechtenstein Museum<\/strong> holds one of the world’s most important private art collections, with masterpieces of European art spanning several centuries.<\/p>\n

For generations, the House of Liechtenstein<\/strong> had consistently and systematically acquired art under the Baroque ideal of ‘princely patronage’ <\/em>– like many other art collections of this period.\u00a0 An active purchasing policy resulted in a number of spectacular new acquisitions with holdings dating back to the 17th century.<\/p>\n
