A night filled with art, sound, and creativity: As part of the Long Night of Museums on October 3, mumok invites you to enjoy a diverse program for all the senses until midnight.

mumok is currently presenting two special exhibitions that span all levels of the museum: “Terminal Piece,” a group exhibition that introduces a new approach to exhibitions and collections at mumok, and “Figure of the Child,” the first solo museum exhibition by artist Tolia Astakhishvili.  
Short guided tours, a musical performance on the exterior of mumok, and an open studio transform the museum into an interactive space for visitors of all ages.

Program

6:00 – 6:30 p.m.: Sound of Wall – CID RIM live on the facade
Location: Level -1 (below the foyer)
To kick off the Long Night of Museums, Viennese electronic musician CID RIM will bring the museum’s striking lava basalt facade to life with his live percussion, transforming the iconic building itself into an instrument. Clemens Bacher, aka CID RIM, has made a name for himself internationally with his blend of jazz, electronic, and club music.

6:00 PM – 11:00 PM: Disco Drawing with Live Visuals
Location: mumok kino (White Room) / Level –4
Our cinema transforms into a picturesque dance floor, and the walls become a moving sculpture. Grab a pair of headphones, follow the beats and sounds, and let your pen whirl freely across the canvas. In the process, you yourself become an interactive work of art: We capture all the voices in the room and transform them into a live visualization that we immediately project onto the walls!
For all ages
. No registration required. First come, first served.

6:00 PM – 11:00 PM: Light Traces
Location: mumok kino (black room) / Level –4
