MQ Libelle
Breathtaking views and a stunningly shifting play of light: The MQ Libelle offers an unparalleled view of Europe’s largest arts and culture complex.
The MQ Libelle in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier is a rooftop terrace open to the public that offers an impressive view of the city. Opened in 2020 as Vienna’s most beautiful cultural terrace, the MQ Libelle offers a panoramic view stretching from the city center all the way to Vienna’s surrounding mountains.
Two of Austria’s most prominent female artists designed the central elements of the terrace and the building. Eva Schlegel designed the glass wall of the MQ Libelle, while Brigitte Kowanz created the iconic light fixtures on the terrace.
The room that gives the building its name—shaped like a dragonfly—was designed by architects Laurids and Manfred Ortner.
