The museum, designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, exhibits contemporary art with a primary focus on ecology. It follows Hundertwasser's ideas of ecology and sustainability. Hundertwasser said that the museum is “a stronghold against the false order of the straight line, a bastion against the grid system and the chaos of nonsense” (Kunsthauswien). He wanted to create something that did not follow a rigid structure because he believed that art should not be governed by imposed order. He felt that order should not dictate an artist's ideas.
