Permanent exhibition
Romanesque and Gothic
Eternity and its Effigy. Art in the Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages, art mainly served the glorification of God and the idea of a better life in the world hereafter. Numerous panels, statues and stained-glass paintings evoke a radiating world beyond, free of fear and misery.

Renaissance and Baroque Art
Between Dying and Dancing. Tales of the Early Modern Period

The Alte Galerie in Schloss Eggenberg – now in a new makeover!
Experience five-hundred years of European history as reflected by art and cultural history: In seven display rooms, outstanding examples of Gothic art testify to the religious faith of the Middle Ages; in fifteen redesigned themed rooms, masterpieces created in the Renaissance and Baroque periods bring to life the misery and splendour of the early modern period.
A constantly changing selection of precious hand drawings and prints from the Graphic Collection enriches the permanent exhibition through its use of complementary themes.
