Overview

An art tour for those who want to stroll through the most important museums of contemporary art in Vienna and get an insight into the artistic life of the Austrian capital.

We start our art tour at Belvedere 21, which houses an exhibition of post-war Austrian art. Here you will gain an insight into the distinctive artistic practices of local artists.

We continue our exploration of contemporary art at the Vienna Secession. Not only is it a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture, it is also Austria's only artist-run exhibition hall. Here you can see what the independent art scene is all about.

The mumok - Museum of Modern Art in the Museumsquartier is the final destination of our walk. The museum's exhibition strategy is to present spectacular thematic exhibitions of contemporary art.

On this tour you will see both museum collections and examples of public art in Vienna.

The itinerary may change due to temporary closures of museums, in which case alternative venues will be offered.
