The Weltmuseum Wien presents the first comprehensive exhibition of the Māori
artist George Nuku in 2022.
This installation project spans nine different spaces within the Weltmuseum
Wien, beginning in the Hall of Columns and taking the viewer on a journey
through several exhibition galleries. Coupled with this is an intervention in the
Weltmuseum Wien’s permanent gallery, devoted to the collections from Oceania.
Nuku brings together collections from Vienna’s Natural History Museum, the
Museum aan de Stroom in Antwerp, and the Weltmuseum Wien. These are
linked and melded with Nuku’s own creations, hand carved from Plexiglass
and Polystyrene. The result is a journey through time and space. Each room
presents its own theme, a world unto itself, yet each is intimately linked to the
preceding and subsequent spaces. Nuku’s ideas and works express the inseparability of both nature and culture.
The project presented here in Vienna can be seen as the culmination of Nuku’s
career.

OCEANS. COLLECTIONS. REFLECTIONS. GEORGE NUKU (Until 31 January 2023)
Vienna's Weltmuseum is the biggest anthropological museum in Austria and has just undergone a huge three-year refurbishment. With a comprehensive permanent collection and varied exhibitions, there's plenty to discover!
With around 65,000 drawings and more than a million old master prints, the Albertina is a mightily impressive collection of art. Located in the largest Habsburg residential palace, the collection also includes more modern works - including two significant collections of Impressionist and early 20th-century art, and temporary exhibitions. Also on display are 21 exquisite Habsburg state rooms, spread over two floors of the palace.
The world-famous Spanish Riding School is the training ground for riders and their Lipizzan horses - Europe's oldest breed of horse. It's located between Michaelerplatz and Josefsplatz inside the Hofburg, in central Vienna. The 'Spanish' in the title refers to the Spanish heritage of the horses.
This beautiful building has been an equestrian training center for more than 450 years. Guests can enter and watch these amazing horses learn the ropes and reins, in preparation for their performances in the Winter Riding School (Winterreitschule) in the Hofburg.
Kunsthistorisches Museum features an extensive art collection that belonged to the once-mighty Habsburg family. It houses pieces by Caravaggio and Titian - and many other Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces. Viennese classical composers once made groundbreaking music with some of the instruments in the Historical Musical Instruments section. There are also impressive collections of coins, arms and armor, as well as Egyptian, Near Eastern, Greek, and Roman antiquities.
