Description

In the Old Gallery at Schloss Eggenberg, visitors experience 500 years of European art and cultural history. Outstanding examples of Austrian Gothic architecture testify to the faith of the Middle Ages, while masterpieces from the Renaissance and Baroque periods tell of the splendor and misery of the early modern period in 15 newly designed themed rooms. Precious hand drawings and prints from the Print Room enrich the permanent exhibition.
