mumok - Museum moderner Kunst Wien 🇦🇹
When in Vienna, Austria 2024:
I'm not an artist, but I appreciate art. Medardo Rosso's work is especially fascinating as his imperfections highlight the beauty of his art. The roughness and delicateness of his sculptures reveal a tenderness that emphasizes the beauty found in imperfections.
Mumok is a fantastic destination for contemporary art enthusiasts, and my recent visit went above and beyond my expectations. Situated in the heart of Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, the museum boasts an impressive collection of modern and contemporary works that span painting, sculpture, video, and multimedia installations.
The current collection is diverse and thought-provoking, showcasing both renowned and up-and-coming artists. I was particularly struck by the balance between historical pioneers and contemporary voices that push the boundaries of art. The exhibitions are expertly curated, providing ample space to explore each artist’s vision.
The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece, offering a minimalist yet inviting environment that allows the artwork to take center stage. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall positive experience.
Whether you’re an art aficionado or just seeking a captivating experience, Mumok presents a wonderful opportunity to engage with the latest trends in the art scene. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vienna!
Four floors of exhibitions, although two floors are currently closed. Despite the large exterior of the building, the museum feels small inside. The staff is not unfriendly, but I wouldn’t describe them as overly friendly either.
I love this place! Cozy, warm, and a super friendly atmosphere!! I enjoyed their music! Amazing views and a beautiful terrace. Next time in Vienna, I will definitely come back for sure!
Really cool things to see and the staff were quite friendly. Unfortunately, they were finishing a renovation, so we couldn't visit every floor of the museum. Nonetheless, it was a really good experience!
