Located near the Volkstheater metro station. The main attractions are Leopold (classic art) and mumok (modern art). Between them there is a social space with many bars and places for chilling. Everything is well projected and you can have an overview at the top of the Leopold through a lift located on its left side. Entrance to each museum is around 14 €.

We visited the Museum Quarter of a couple of occasions. The old Hapsburg stables have been transformed to a cultural collection of art museums and a grand public space. I only visited the Modern Art Museum; however, I greatly enjoyed the open courtyard that had been converted to a city gathering place. The buildings are impressive and still have clues to show you it was once a stable. Take the time to visit. You will enjoy both the museum and the gathering spaces.

Looking straight on to the statue in between the two mammoth museums is breathtaking. This is an absolute visual treat. The architecture of the symmetry and sheer beauty of the buidlings. I cannot think seeing anything more beautiful in a city.

In such a beautiful setting there is so much to see. The architecture alone is so impressive. Then you are surrounded by so much art and history you will find it difficult th choose what to visit first. Allow at least 2 days to really absorb. Look up what is available and select what you would like to visit if you have limited time. Great market at Christmas.

There are at least four museums here in this recent addition to Vienna's cultural life constructed inside the former stables of the Hofburg palace. The Leopold Museum has one of the largest collection of the art of Egon Schiele, on of the most important of Viennese 20th Century artists along with many other paintings of the first decades of the 20th century by Kokoschka, Klimt, and architectural works by Loos, Hoffmann, and Wagner. The MUMOK museum has a very large rotating collection of 20th century art and special exhibitions. A very good restaurant is also in the building.

Museums Quartier Wien is an area in Wien with different museums in close vicinity.
In this area there were the former royal stables of the Habsburg house.
You can find here amongst others the largest museum dedicated to modern art and the largest collection of Gustav Klimt's masterpieces.
This a great area for the museums, the art but for the architecture around too.
There are hidden gems to be discovered everywhere in Wien!!

They say it is the largest cultural quarter in the world. Due to covid all of the main attractions like the museams,caffes, resturants and shops are closed but still is a nice area to stroll by. Easy to reach, great parking below it and close by maria theresa square.

Only in Vienna for 4 nights and definitely didn’t have enough time to visit everything here. Several museums from fine art to contemporary. Tons of history and we just didn’t have enough time to do it justice. There was also the Christmas market which was busy but well worth a visit.

Even for those who don't like Museum is it worth to visit? (Mesmo para quem não gosta de Museus vale a pena a visita?)

Yes! Free and beautiful. A fun place for a picnic. It would make sense to google if there is a Vienna card or some card that lowers the price of admissions. Some cities have that. I'm jealous you're going there. My absolute favorite city.

Lun, mer e ven h. 13, tranne che in giornate particolari (tipo Natale ecc.) non é necessario prenotare (quando siamo andati noi era agosto, il gruppo era foltissimo ma nessun problema). La visita dura un'oretta, non é quindi troppo "impegnativa" e si può fare pranzo dopo. Audioguida in italiano lasciando documento di identità . L'interno non é memorabile ma tuttosommato merita.

Is this museum interesting and suitable for children?
What could they do there?

The Museums Quartier is not one Museum, it is four if I am not mistaken. And although I do not think any of them should be interesting for children, just outside the Leopold I noticed a museum for children specially , the Zoom Museum , which looked it had a lot of activities for children plus a cafe for parents with children just next to it.

Would it be advisable to pre-book any of the museums in the Museum Quarter?
MQ – MuseumsQuartier Wien
Vienna, Austria
Dear Peri,
it is not necessary to pre-book tickets for the museums in the MuseumsQuartier. We do not have long waiting hours. You also can buy tickets in the MQ Point - the shop and info point in the main entrance of the MQ. There you can also buy combi ticktes, for example the MQ Duo Ticket: You can choose 2 museums out of 4 - and visit them with only one ticket!

What form of transportation do people use to get there? It says it is an hour away on transit transportation. Does anyone pay for taxi? How much is it on taxi?
Thank you for your help?
