t The bright, airy interior of mumok with fine works of modern art on display

The MuseumsQuartier once housed the stables for Emperor Franz Joseph’s horses. In 1918, after the fall of the Habsburg Empire, the buildings were transformed into an exhibition space to house the Wiener Messe’s trade fairs. In 1986, modern and contemporary art galleries were constructed, including mumok, the Kunsthalle Wien and the Leopold Museum, and further renovations were completed in 2001. Today, the MQ, as it is called, hosts 60 institutions, and its courtyard offers pleasant cafés and outdoor seating where visitors can relax and soak up the atmosphere.
