In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

90,000 m², 60 cultural institutions - the MuseumsQuartier Wien is a place of art and crea tivity. You'll find renowned museums here, as wellas small cultural initiatives, classics of modernism and young artists of the current century. The spectrum ranges from the visual arts to architecture, music, fashion, theater, dance, literature and children's culture, to game culture, street art, design and photography. Innumerable cultural events also take place throughout the year in the courtyards of the MQ, featuring everything from dance performances, exhibition projects and film festivals to literary readings and even DJ line-ups.
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.

Colourful, varied, extraordinary – the posters for the former exhibitions in the entrance area already reveal the versatility of the WestLicht Museum, which has been an integral part of an up-and-coming cultural scene since 2001. Surrounded by camera shops, WestLicht quickly developed from an insider tip to the heart of this creative area and offers photo-savvy visitors several times a year changing photo exhibitions, permanent collection of historical cameras, a large selection of photo books and posters in bookshop, as well as a cozy café that invites you to relax in an inspiring atmosphere. One of the highlights of the camera collection is the world's first commercially manufactured camera.
One of the best visits. Museum is time machine for pfoto and film lovers. Huge numbers of photo cameras from over hundred years old history. I was at the time with the photographs of Alison Jackson. Great!

The Leopold Museum is a unique treasure-house of Viennese Jugendstil, the Wiener Werkstätte and Expressionism. It is the most-visited museum of the city's hottest cultural site, the MuseumsQuartier, and it houses the most significant and largest Egon Schiele collection in the world, as well as masterworks by Secession founder Gustav Klimt. Tip: The museum's panorama windows offer a wonderful view of central Vienna with Maria Theresa Square and the Hofburg Palace.
Despite the very many great museums in Vienna, the Leopoldo Museum remains my favorite. It hosts a very large section on the exceedingly talented Egon Schiele and another on the World Famous Gustav Klimt. They also do an excellent job explaining how the Secession Movement came about in Austria and the contributions by its various founding members. The Leopold also hosts excellent visiting exhibitions. This time round there was one in German Expressionism and another on Schiele was to open tomorrow. I will need to go back again tomorrow. PS the Leopold Cafe on the 2nd floor is excellent for a bite n a drink.

This was a wonderful children's museum with age groups broen up and hosted activities in German and English. The Ocean is for 0-3 year olds and our 2yo son had a great time. Just beware that you need to buy tickets for an admission time (on the hour) and that spaces are limited so try to book on line.

Originally, the Imperial Furniture Museum was where the Habsburgs stored their furniture. Today with its 165,000 exhibits it is one of the world's largest furniture collections, presenting the culture of furniture from over three centuries. The display extends from the presentation of the Imperial furniture, through a variety of furnishing styles such as Biedermeier, Historicism and the Viennese Modern, to contemporary furniture design. Changing special exhibitions are devoted in particular to the architecture, design and furniture of the 20th century.
We visited on a Sunday as this was included in the Sisi ticket and also most shops were closed. Really glad we didn’t miss out on this fascinating collection of furniture! There were detailed explanations on important furniture pieces throughout the periods and also the different decorative styles preferred by different family members and characteristic of each era. The collection also provided some background stories which tied in really nicely when we visited the main palaces at Schönbrunn and Hofburg as we were already made aware of snippets of the royal family’s lives through their furniture!
