Das Belvedere 21 ist der Schauplatz des Belvedere für zeitgenössische Kunst, untergebracht in Karl Schwanzers modernistischem Pavillon, der für die Expo 58 in Brüssel errichtet und 1962 als Museum des 20. Jahrhunderts in Wien neu aufgebaut wurde. Nach einer behutsamen Restaurierung durch Adolf Krischanitz eröffnete das Haus 2011 (zunächst als 21er Haus) mit wechselnden Ausstellungen, dem Blickle Kino und dem Nachlass des Bildhauers Fritz Wotruba. Der Skulpturengarten direkt am Schweizergarten ist frei zugänglich.
