About Austria
Arts and Culture


ARTS AND CULTURE

Throughout the world Austria is recognized for its rich cultural past and present. This wealth of artistic achievements is represented in architectural monuments like the Stephansdom (Saint Stephen`s Cathedral), Schönbrunn Palace, Hofburg Palace, the "Goldene Dachl" in Innsbruck, Melk Abbey, the "Loos-Haus" or the "Hundertwasser-Haus". An extensive programme of art exhibitions, theatre, concerts, festivals and folklore events complete the cultural offer. World renowned choirs (Vienna Boys` Choir, Arnold-Schoenberg-Choir) and orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, the Wiener Symphoniker, the Camerata Academica Salzburg, the Concentus Musicus and the Vienna Art Orchestra act as ambassadors for Austria.
