Both the upper and lower palaces of the Belvedere feature museums devoted to Austrian art. In fact, the building itself is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. The Museum of Austrian Baroque Art displays 17th and 18th century paintings and sculptures. Highlights from the museum include the Hall of Mirrors, a room covered with large, gilt-framed mirrors, and the "Hall of Grotesques" where bizarre paintings inspired by ancient Roman frescoes are displayed.
