Nearly 300 years span the period from the construction of the Imperial City Stables at the beginning of the 18th century, their later adaptation as trade fair and exhibition grounds and the official grand opening of the MuseumsQuartier in 2001.

Today, baroque buildings and contemporary architecture, cultural facilities in every shape and size representing a variety of art sectors merge and coalesce to form a scintillatingly contrasting whole.

At the heart of this highly charged architectural field is Vienna’s largest open-air ballroom: the vast inner courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier transmogrifies each summer into a culture oasis in a class of its own.

Visitors and locals relax on weatherproof furniture, fondly dubbed the Enzis and enjoy contemplative leisure stroll, acommpanied by the endless stimulation of culture.
