Museum Quarters In Vienna

This place rocks for the arts!

Vienna's new Museum Quarter, or MuseumsQuartier Wien, is the museum world's answer to the shopping mall. The vast complex combines old and new buildings into a single entity of 20 museums and cultural organizations, plus cafés and shops to provide a break from intellectual overload

I went to the Leopold Museum which had a a great Adolf Holzel exhibit as well as some Klimt.

I really really wanted to go to the Museum of Modern Art- but had no time.

This would be one of the first things I do if I'm ever in this amazing city in the future!

Museum of Modern Art, Ludwig Foundation Vienna. "MUMOK," as the Viennese have dubbed the MUseum MOderner Kunst, is the largest Central European museum for modern and contemporary art. Its new building has an exterior of anthracite-grey basalt lava, and the interior design is a futuristic blend of cast iron, basalt, steel, and glass. The museum's collection includes works by Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka, Andy Warhol, and other internationally renowned artists.
