    This is a wonderful building that showcases a combination of Viennese architecture, design and art history. Definitely a must see if you want to feel part of the history of the city. The architectural style of Otto Wagner combined with Ernst Fuchs paintings and adaptations of the house and estate, mystical symbols, statues, interpretations of different mythical figures and a very unique view on life and the arts will definitely inspire you and give you some vibes you never felt before. The location is very accessible by public transportation (bus). After you leave the station (Uranusweg) you only have to walk about 6-7 minutes through a beautiful area to get to the Villa.

    A beautiful villa by Otto Wagner with a fantastic collection featuring Vienna based secession treasure. Recommended for everyone.

    I didn't go inside, just viewed the buildings from outside. Otto Wagner's buildings are all over Vienna, and his two villas, near the Wienerwald, are must-see for Wagner fans. Villa 1 is the more prominent, and features many of Wagner's art nouveau hallmarks. Some of the decorations were changed by artist Ernst Fuchs whose works tend to be a bit gaudier than Wagner's. Still, gorgeous buildings, similar in some ways to the Kirche am Steinhof.

    Such a unique museum in the outskirt of Vienna. You cannot find any other similar museum else where in Austria. The museum is small and may take you around maximum of 45' to see. Easily reach the museum by U4 and bus 52A/52B.

    One of the significant places to visit for Wagner fans. Due to Ernst Fuchs the villa was preserved in a very good condition. Although the artist has redesigned a lot of rooms (bacicaly only one room remained untouched) the villa looks pretty authentic and super stylish. One more thing to mention is absolutely lovely and devoted personnel of the museum. I would recommend taking a guided tour. To enter the museum you need to ring the bell. Admission fee is 14€

    Located in an area that’s lined with trees and villas galore, the main house — which was formerly the home of the Wagner family — has a gorgeous exterior. The Fuchs‘s various alterations and additions are simultaneously tacky and fascinating. The ‘Roman’ style bathing area which takes up the entire first floor area that is open to visitors is, well, interesting in its gaudiness. Oh well, each to his own. The grounds could be cleaner and better cared for. I fear that €14 entry per person to the main house (which is of a modest square footage for a villa) is very steep for what the visitors are offered, this considering what tourists get for their hard earned monies in better maintained cultural institutions in this beautiful city. * tip — just take photos outside — save your €

    A nice place for architecture and art lovers to visit. Amazing collection of paintings, sculptures, photos that they have. With people who is into details, you can spend hours in here to respect all the works. But if not, then less than an hour because the place is quite small.

    Architect Otto Wagner's villa is now museum of Ernst Fuchs works. While adding the works they have retained and very well maintained the original villa with its furniture and gardens around. The sitting room has stained glass windows that are very charming. The bedroom has different design for bed. For all architects and artists it's a worth visit if you have little time in Vienna. It takes almost one hour to reach there from the city centre using public transport. For me it was worth the effort. Next to this villa there is this installation decorated using glass tiles. In the next compound there is a bungalow that was Otto Wagner's residence in art nouveau style. But this is not accessible for outsiders.

    A wonderful museum outside of the crowded turistic tour in a quite area of Vienna, in the woods! This was the sumemr house of Otto Wagner and after his death residence of Ernst Fuchs, Austrian artist. Just mesmerizing!

    Not top of the list for folks visiting Vienna, but if you live here I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I personally hate a lot of Ernst Fuchs' work (he apparently helped inspire the whole airbush movement among Californian painters in the 80s, blaaaaaah), but the vast amount of stuff he created is truly impressive, as is the Villa itself. The lovingly detailed Hundertwasser-esque tileworks around the property alone are worth the visit.

    If it was like 6-7€ I would give it 5 stats. The gardens are very nice, but the house/museum itself is very small for 11€. Good thing is, not many tourists! It's quiet and empty or almost empty so you can enjoy in peace...

    An amazing place from inside ! Highly recommended and approx half an hour from the center , also nice to take a walk& hiking this area

  • 3/5 Hammidah S. 7 months ago on Google • 280 reviews
    It's very sad that this place is not well kept. Though, I'm very intrigued by the attention to details of all the art objects, but the surrounding areas are dirty and doggy. I hope the people involved will do something to make this place more attractive, besides the art itself.

    Very beautiful house. I suggest visiting when there's good weather, so you can also enjoy the pavillon and the gardens and woods around the area. The inside is otherwise rather small, if gorgeous.

  • 5/5 Liudmyla O. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    A unique and marvelously beautiful place for the suckers for beauty. I would recommend visiting it in the summer so you can take a proper look on the pool and terrace. The person on the reception is very kind :)

  • 5/5 Sergej B. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect XX Cent. Modern art! Would recommend to read about Ernst Fuchs in advance or take a guide for the first time.

  • 5/5 Arnold L. 6 months ago on Google
    Stunning building and interior, i would like to live there :)

  • 5/5 Lesnaya G. 10 months ago on Google
    amazing place! So beautiful! And also very friendly receptionist! Thank you 💙 definitely coming back! Wish there was more things in elvish though

    You can walk outside the Villa for free which is nice itself. Entrance costs 14€ for adults which is quite steep as you can walk through the whole villa in maybe 15 minutes. The interior and furniture is very interesting though.

  • 5/5 Mantas V. 10 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    One of the most unique museums I've attended. Location is a little off the beaten path, but it's worth the trek (also, had to get off at a further bus stop, due to roadworks, but I assume that's just temporary). The admittance indoors has a fee, but, once again, I wouldn't miss out on it.

  • 5/5 C G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience!!! Ernst Fuchs is one of my favourite artists ever, but the combination of his stunning work inside the beautiful Otto-Wagner-Villa just renders you breathless. Together with the provided explanations and especially so when the sun is shining you can really feel the soul of this special place and you'll start to understand a greater meaning and see the inspiration behind an artist we all love and appreciate so much. Also Jugendstil at its best, great work Otto ❤️

  • 4/5 Marcel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Entry is steep (11€), but if you’re into Ernst Fuchs‘ art or Fantastic Realism it’s more than worth it. Beautiful place kept in good shape by the children.

  • 5/5 Dumitru T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful place and a great architecture.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a trek if you're staying in the centre of Vienna, but it is worth it. There a few rooms in the house itself; outside there is a beautiful grotto. The configuration of Fuchs' artwork and the neo-classical architecture is masterful and delightful. I recommend it.

  • 5/5 Linda S. 1 year ago on Google
    The villa saved, restored, and enhanced by Ernst Fuchs is marvelous. Although I'm not a fan of Fuchs, I've still enjoyed a little insight into his work.

  • 5/5 Alex U. 4 years ago on Google
    I do not know how to start. It is one of the most special places on the planet. It is not an overstatement. It sounds as an overstatement but it is not. Its 30minutes away from Schönbrunn Palace. You take a metro for four stops and then a bus for another 3 stops and you arive in the mids of a wonderful location where there are no cohorts of turists. The only other visitors we saw ware 3 members of a family. The villa was constructed by Otto Wagner and it exudes "1900 Wien". It was embelished by Ernst Fuchs - the austrian creator of the fantastic realism school of art. And from here on...only some images can give you a more clear idea of why Dali was Fuchs's friend. Why Gaudi resonates through every piece of colour. Entrance fee is 11€ (april 2019)

  • 5/5 Neelam S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to visit for interior decoration lovers too along with artists !

  • 5/5 Ioana Alexandra B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great visiting spot that is not in the top Vienna must see lists!

  • 5/5 Irena T. 5 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended! Different, amazing, spectacular. A must go if you're looking for a alternative to the turistic places.

  • 5/5 Oksana K. 4 years ago on Google
    Must have location for people who doesn't like tourists crowds. You may wander here for hours because of beautiful surrealistic architecture, interior and paintings exhibition.
