The Arnulf Rainer Museum in Baden bei Wien occupies the former Imperial Baths, a neoclassical spa building from 1826 at Josefsplatz 5. Rainer, born in Baden in 1929, is one of Austria’s major postwar artists; his signature overpainting technique layers dense gestural brushwork over photographs and existing images. Open Wednesday to Sunday; adults around EUR 8-10. Baden is 30 minutes from Vienna by direct train from Sudbahnhof. Combine with a walk through the Kurpark (spa park) and the town center to see the neoclassical spa architecture that Baden built around its thermal spring tradition.
