ART / INSTITUTIONS / MUSEUMS

Museumsquartier
www.mqw.at
Museumsplatz 1/5, 1070 Wien
The Museumsquartier is a cultural complex combining the baroque buildings of the old Summer Riding School with contemporary architecture. It comprises a variety of cultural institutions, ranging from the Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna (MUMOK) to the Kunsthalle Wien and the Leopold Museum. The Quartier 21, hosts a variety of smaller cultural institutions, open to the public. Also of interest might be a couple of shops, mostly run by Vienna´s young creatives. We recommend to visit the following institutions or museums:

Kunsthalle Wien

The Modern Collection includes drawings by Manet and Cezanne as well as Austrian Modern Classics Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka.

The Secession is still exlusively artist-run, with a very ambitious exhibition programme of international contemporary art.
