Overview tour

Covering an area of around 114,000 m², the MuseumsQuartier is a multifaceted space that bridges the past and the present. More than 60 institutions share an area that, with its courtyards, seating areas, and open paths, has become a daily meeting place for many—green, lively, and accessible around the clock. More than five million people come here every year.

The overview tour reveals what holds this place together at its core. It tells the story of its development since it opened in 2001, the transformation of the imperial stables, and the idea of an open cultural space in the heart of the city. Our guides combine architecture, use, and everyday life into an overall picture and show why the MQ is more than just a museum for many: it is a piece of urban home.

Discover on the guided tour:

• the MuseumsQuartier as a cosmopolitan, lively "living room of Vienna" since its opening in 2001
• how baroque royal stables and contemporary museum architecture deliberately stand side by side
• Landmark buildings such as the Leopold Museum, the mumok, the Kunsthalle Wien, and the MQ Libelle as a vantage point overlooking the area
• artistic installations in the courtyards that continuously change and redesign the MQ
• How MQ is pioneering new approaches to sustainability as a laboratory for change
• the interplay of art, public space, and urban life in the heart of Vienna
