My Vienna Trip: Museums Quartier (MQ)

The Museum Quartier Wien is one of the ten largest cultural complexes in the world.

The MuseumsQuartier unites baroque buildings, new architecture, cultural institutions of all sizes, various disciplines of art, and recreational facilities in a single spectacular location.

The spectrum ranges from large art museums like the Leopold Museum and the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna) to contemporary exhibition spaces like the KUNSTHALLE wien and festivals like the Wiener Festwochen, an annual summer event this is headquartered in the MuseumsQuartier Wien. Additional highlights include the TanzQuartier, an international, state-of-the-art center for dance, the Architektur Zentrum Wien, production studios for new media, artist studios for artists-in-residence, outstanding art and cultural facilities designed for children, and a variety of other events and festivals.

The MuseumsQuartier is unequaled anywhere in the world when it comes to the breadth of cultural opportunities it offers.

The exceptional location in the heart of the city also offers all the advantages of an inner city cultural district. Terrace cafés, oases of green, bars, shops, and bookstores provide for a well-balanced infrastructure in the 60,000 square meter complex in the middle of an extraordinary setting.

Old masters and modern art, baroque and cyberspace, expeditions into the realm of the imagination, and recreation in the center of the city were never as close as in they are in the MuseumsQuartier Wien.
