Program

Speech, writing, signs, gestures, expressions, singing, music, painting, dance… All that and lots more is communication.

Trains run on iron rails. Steel grids make house walls stronger. The kitchen drawers are filled with stainless steel cutlery. Braces are held together with wires. There are clothes fabrics with silver threads woven into them. And there’s a tiny metal ball sitting in the end of a ballpoint pen…

Why is the pencil-sharpener-monster so mean? And can an eraser really only rub out, or can it create new worlds? Together with our experts, children and young people work as a team to tell new stories.

We take play seriously at ZOOM Children’s Museum. That is why ZOOM offers a special place for young children with various play activities especially designed to stimulate young children’s motor skills and cognitive and social abilities. Haptic stimuli, colorful objects, inclined planes, a water mattress and a tunnel of mirrors hone the perception and differentiation skills of toddlers and young children.

Since 2003, ZOOM has been hosting this special event series with the aim of getting kids enthusiastic about science and teaching them how important it is to ask questions, to be curious, and not simply to take everything as given. The speakers are renowned scientists from different fields of research.

The exhibition "ON STAGE - All the Art World’s a Stage" is dedicated to the diverse forms of the stage-like and role-playing in art since the 1960s. Discover the exhibition during a guided tour.

Discover spring-like patterns in the museum - in the works of Gustav Klimt as well as in the magazine "Der Heilige Frühling". Let spring come to your studio with your artwork!

The awakening took place in a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and graphic art to literature, music, theater, dance, architecture, medicine, psychology, philosophy, jurisprudence and economics. With around 1,300 exhibits on three levels, the exhibition presents the splendor and richness of the artistic and intellectual achievements of this epoch on the basis of masterpieces from the Leopold Museum and magnificent permanent loans from Austrian and international collections.

This exhibition tour is about hybrid forms, the immediate, the ambiguous, the "contaminating," and how gender and role attributions, colonial contexts, and even museum forms of selection and presentation can be subverted and rethought.

Presentation of the new audio stations in the permanent exhibition "Hot Questions — Cold Storage": Meet the people behind the voices.

Museumsquartier instead of Naschmarkt, Halle E instead of Theater an der Wien... The 22/23 season brings with it not only the new artistic director Stefan Herheim, but also a new venue. We would like to continue to give all theater enthusiasts the opportunity to look behind the scenes and at the same time get to know our new venue.

WHW, artistic directors of Kunsthalle Wien and curators of the exhibition, will guide you through "Rajkamal Kahlon. Which Side Are You On?".
