The best exhibitions in August
Vienna's temples to art also serve up exciting, high-quality programs in summer. Now really is the time to visit to the extraordinary collections and special exhibitions in Vienna's museums.
A positive side effect: When the outside temperatures keep rising, Vienna's museums will keep you cool and protected from the sun.
Don't miss these summertime exhibitions:
