PARALLEL VIENNA Competitors

Das Belvedere gehört mit rund 1,8 Million Besucherinnen und Besucher jährlich zu den führenden Museen Österreichs. Es beherbergt die bedeutendste Sammlung österreichischer Kunst vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart, ergänzt durch Werke internationaler Künstlerinnen und Künstler.

The mumok is the largest museum in Central Europe for art since modernism. It makes the various aspects of the international and Austrian avant-garde accessible to everyone interested in the arts. The striking dark grey cuboid structure clad in basalt stone in the middle of the MuseumsQuartier's Wien houses an unusual collection featuring important works from Classic Modernism, Pop Art, Fluxus, and Viennese Actionism to present-day film and media art. From Pablo Picasso to Andy Warhol and Franz West, the collection and special exhibitions represent a blend of tradition and experiment, past and present. The mumok cinema explores film in the context of visual art. A broad range of educational programs for adults and children ages four and up, a library, the mumok restaurant, and the mumok shop complete the range of offerings for visitors.

Wien Museum is a general-purpose metropolitan museum with a wide range of collections and exhibitions – from the history of the city to art, fashion and modern culture, from the earliest settlements to the present day. Because of its general approach and interdisciplinary potential, it occupies a unique position among Vienna’s museums. It has sites throughout the city. Taking the city of Vienna as a model, it explores the general theme of social, cultural and urban change in comparison with other cities.
