Open around the clock

Located in the center of the main courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier Wien, the MQ Art Box invites visitors to discover contemporary art in a public space.

The transparent art space features rotating installations by international and local artists, engaging in an open dialogue with its surroundings. The MQ Art Box serves as a testing ground for current artistic approaches and offers insights into contemporary practices and relevant discourses in contemporary art.
