Vienna’s vibrant MuseumsQuartier is a revitalized area that was once the imperial stables and carriage buildings. Today, this large complex houses several of the city’s most important modern and contemporary art museums, as well as bars, restaurants, and event spaces. It’s a must-visit for art lovers.

Leopold Museum Dedicated to Austrian modernist art, the Leopold Museum houses the world’s largest collection of works by Egon Schiele, as well as major pieces by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and the Vienna Secession movement.

Museum Moderner Kunst (MUMOK) MUMOK is home to one of Europe’s largest collections of 20th/21st century art, with abstract, pop, minimal and conceptual works by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Richter, Pollock and cutting-edge contemporary artists.

Architekturzentrum Wien This museum focuses on exhibitions related to architecture, urban planning and design from the 20th century to today.

ZOOM Kindermuseum One of the world’s first museums designed specifically for children, with interactive, hands-on exhibits to inspire creativity.

In addition to the museums, the MuseumsQuartier features atmospheric courtyards, street cafes, bars, dance performances, live music and other cultural events throughout the year. At night, the modern architecture is dramatically illuminated.
