MuseumsQuartier (MQ)
Once the imperial court stables, the MQ is today one of the largest cultural complexes in the world. Visitors can look forward to a fascinating mix of classical and contemporary art, from the masterpieces in the Leopold Museum (including Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt) to the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art) and the experimental Kunsthalle Wien.

But the MQ is more than a place for art lovers: it is a meeting place for creatives, students, families and travelers. In summer the courtyard becomes an urban oasis with lounge furniture, concerts and open-air cinema. In winter, punch stands and design markets draw the crowds. Here you can feel modern, creative Vienna in all its diversity.

Highlights:
  • World-class museums such as the Leopold Museum, MUMOK & the Kunsthalle Wien
  • Trendy cafés, bars & shops in a historic setting
  • Popular meeting place for culture lovers & the city's scene crowd
  • Events, festivals & markets in the courtyard all year round
  • Easy to combine with a visit to the Volksgarten or Mariahilfer Straße

Whether you want to enjoy art, find inspiration or simply soak up Vienna's cool, creative vibe, the MuseumsQuartier is the perfect place for it.
