The MuseumsQuartier (MQ) is one of the largest cultural quarters in the world. Situated on the edge of the city center in the former imperial court stables, it brings together establishments from a wide range of art disciplines, restaurants, cafés and stores in a post-modernist combination of baroque buildings with modern architecture over an area covering 60,000 m².
The MQ offers an ambiance that fits the urban lifestyle of its visitors: retaining the old, experiencing the new – and enjoying both of them together. Following this principle, a colorful and varied scene developed amid the setting of eminent museums and collections:
After a visit to the Schiele collection, drop by Café Leopold. In Café Restaurant Halle, you can take a look at the furnishings of Vienna's trendy bar designers, Eichinger and Knechtl. The MQdaily invites you to drop by for a short break. The hustle and bustle on the large square can be best followed from here.
Design at the Bar
The Kaan café-restaurant near the Architecture Center, designed by architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, is well worth a visit. At Kantine, right next to a bookshop, visitors can leisurely enjoy the reading matter purchased next door.
