"The Österreichische Galerie Belvedere (Austrian Gallery Belvedere) is the museum institution whose collections provide the best and most complete survey of Austrian art, and it is also the second largest art museum in the country. A collection of medieval art -- primarily Gothic -- is included in this, as well as the Baroque Museum and the extensive collection of art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which also includes a small but exquisite collection of German and French art"--P. 9.
