During the ORF-Long Night of Museums, the MQ becomes a space for experiences: music, cuisine and art create a sensual atmosphere that invites visitors to linger and discover. The MuseumsQuartier Wien is one of the largest art and culture areas in the world. It combines historic buildings with contemporary architecture and stands for openness, diversity and social change – an urban space for everyone.

Austrian artist Thomas Feuerstein is showing his exhibition ‘METABOLICA’ in the MQ Freiraum. The cycle of works, which he has been working on since 2017, is being presented here in its entirety for the first time. Feuerstein transforms the space into a molecular factory: algae and their fatty acids are used to create new materials that are shaped into sculptures and then returned to the cycle. The exhibition combines art and science and opens up new perspectives on resources, the circular economy and models for the future of society.
