The exhibition investigates how artistic models of a “we” can be cultivated for life together as a society: What does collaboration mean in the twenty-first century when fundamental social structures continue to dissolve? How have artists responded to such social and political developments over the decades and what is their position today?

The mumok collection contains nearly five hundred works related to animals - a considerable quantity that raises the question of what kind of zoo the museum in fact is. What is kept, researched, and displayed both here and there to protect “wild life” and the “freedom of art”? And in whose interest?

Guided tour for families through the exhibition "Enjoy".

With the 90-minute format "Resonanz", we establish contacts in our new neighbourhood in the MuseumsQuartier: art educators, musicians and dramaturges from the MusikTheater an der Wien, the mumok and the Kunsthalle Wien explore echoes, reverberations or contrasts in the current exhibitions and programmes.

The collection show "Changes" focuses on recent acquisitions to the mumok collection, with works by Leidy Churchman, János Fájo, Philipp Fleischmann, Birke Gorm, Jojo Gronostay, Frida Orupabo, and Emily Wardill, and other works from the collection that have not yet been shown at mumok, and confronts these with older holdings which can thus be seen afresh.

In her exhibition "Nane Oda Lavutaris / Who Will Play for Me?", the artist Emília Rigová, born in Slovakia, explores the history and the present-day experiences of the Roma. In an installation with pianos she refers to the musical heritage of the Roma and the tensions between self-image and external perception that this music embodies.

The mumok studio becomes a felt workshop. A mountain of wool is waiting for you. Blue, red, yellow, colorfully dyed - but beware, it is not spun. We will bathe and stroke, squeeze, roll and mill the raw wool until it is all completely felted. If there is still time, you can work your object with needles and bring it into the desired shape.
