The collections of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna represent some 5,000 years of human creativity from Ancient Egypt through to European painting around 1800. The Shape of Time presents a group of artworks dating from 1800 to the present day by artists such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Claude Cahun, Mark Rothko, Maria Lassnig, Steve McQueen and Peter Doig. These have been carefully placed within the rooms of the museum's picture gallery, each in dialogue with one work of art from the Kunsthistorisches Museum. As stepping stones they lead visitors from the point at which the museum's collections end, to the present.
