Art & Antique Vienna is a long-established fair that has become an important event in the art world calendar. With the central 1st district of Vienna being something of a historical museum in itself, there could be no better location for such a prestigious antiques fair. The chosen setting for this showcase of antiques is the 13th century Hofburg Palace, once home to a number of Habsburg monarchs and the former administrative heart of several empires. It doesn't get any grander or more historic than this!
The first Art & Antique Vienna was held in the 70s. It takes place only once a year and has always chosen the month of November. This is the perfect time for an art and antique fair, as it allows dealers to show off their incredible pieces before the Christmas markets take over the city. More than 50 galleries create exhibitions at this event and they come from all over Austria as well as other European countries and the occasional dealer from further afield. This antique fair is a fantastic moment in the annual calendar of markets and fairs, and since it lasts for 9 days, there is plenty of time to take in each piece and meet each gallery represented.
Art & Antique Vienna is a gathering place for art professionals, collectors, buyers, and antique and art lovers from all over the world. When you visit this fair, you can expect to find furniture, clocks, paintings, graphic design, photography, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and more. Pieces date back to the 1st century and it is a pleasure to see such items alongside more modern works of art.
With its location in the Hofburg, Art & Antique Vienna could not be easier to find. It is close to underground and tram stations and is also a short walk from the city center and Vienna's antique district. Visiting this fair is just what you need after taking in the history of the rest of Vienna.
