The upper and the lower Belvedere
It was during the period 1712 to 1716, the construction of the lower Belvedere took place.

The Lower Belvedere was normally a residence, while the upper one was designed for prestige and pomp. A vast majority of the collections of the Prince were housed at this place.
The construction upon the upper Belvedere began quite early as 1717, and construction was so advanced that Prince Eugene was supposed to receive the Turkish ambassador on October 2nd 1719. The work of the decoration began in 1718 and the construction of the building was completely over in 1723. The plan to build this place was engrossed with the idea of having a beautiful view of the city. With the passage of time paintings were transferred from the Stall burg to the Upper Belvedere and this was opened to the public. One of the major highlights of this place is the painting of Klimt with the iconic kiss.

Belvedere Museum exhibitions take the art lovers on a journey of ecstasy and marvel. The museum is home to art pieces and exhibitions like The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, and Talking Heads which is a depiction of fury, fear and lust, and it is believed that artists are fascinated by these emotions being portrayed in the form of paintings or other arts. City of Women is another fantastic exhibition that displays the work of the female artists in the city of Vienna from the year 1900 to 1938. Leopold Kiesling, the Myth of Mars and Venus with Cupid is an exhibition that unveils the political agenda behind the marriage of Napoleon I and Emperor Francis II (I)’s daughter Marie Louise.
Though convertible buildings were very much part of Italian and German culture, but assembling along with dismantling the structures worked out to be a labour prone process.
