Winter in the MuseumsQuartier

A winter garden in the MQ

The inner courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier becomes an atmospheric winter garden. With spectacular art and light projects, open dining gardens, mini-golf, boules area and curling lanes. And all with social distancing, of course.

There will be no Christmas markets this year.

The MuseumsQuartier (MQ) in Vienna is a popular meeting place in both summer and winter. This winter, open-air programs are right at the top of the agenda. And so without further ado, the inner courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier transforms into a winter garden. Wintry lights and festively decorated Christmas trees create an atmospheric winter landscape. This year, the food outlets are opening their dining gardens right through the winter and getting visitors in the mood for Advent with special decorations as well as Christmas food and drinks.

The main courtyard will be given a winter’s sky, on which artistically designed projections can be seen; the same will be done on the façade of the Leopold Museum. Diving into fantastic winter worlds is the order of the day here.

And action!

Remote-controlled cars race around in the pond of the MuseumsQuartier in the "Winter Race". Competitions can also be held on two curling lanes and the popular boules area. The artistically designed mini-golf course MQ Amore is also open throughout the winter this year. And Lumina, an illuminated bowling alley, is an experience not just for children.
