Description

Essentials about the MuseumsQuartier in brief

The MuseumsQuartier is definitely one of the tourist and cultural highlights of a visit to Vienna. Art and culture enthusiasts will be able to spend many days here, because the MuseumsQuartier is one of the world’s largest art and cultural areas with its approximately 60 cultural institutions. In addition, with its beautiful and architecturally unique inner courtyards, where numerous cafés and stores can be found, the MQ is also an oasis of peace and relaxation in the middle of the city. Art creation, art life, leisure activities and recreation grow together here into an inseparable unit, which is why the MQ is also one of the most popular places in Vienna for locals and tourists.

The cultural institutions at the MuseumsQuartier

The MuseumsQuartier’s offerings range from visual and performing arts, architecture, music, fashion, theater, dance, literature and children’s culture to new media. The largest cultural institutions in the MQ are the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art), the Leopold Museum, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architekturzentrum Wien (Center of Architecture Vienna), the Tanzquartier Wien (Dance Quarter Vienna), the Dschungel Wien (a theater house for young audiences) and the ZOOM Kindermuseum (Children’s Museum).

The architecture of the MuseumsQuartier

The MuseumsQuartier is also exceptional from an architectural point of view. The buildings, which were formerly imperial court stables, were converted into a trade fair palace at the beginning of the 20th century, and were finally transformed into the MuseumsQuartier from 1998-2001. The original baroque buildings are now juxtaposed with the modern architecture of the new museum buildings, creating an architecturally unique museum complex.
