The Big Museums
For children exploring the big museums, the mumok and Leopold Museums have some exciting activities.

At the mumok, children ages four and older will love the Children’s Art Transporter. This small wooden studio on wheels contains different art materials and ideas for exploring the museum. Also at the mumok, the x-small Studio, held the first and third Sunday each month, is an interactive experience for children ages four to six. Meanwhile the weekly Children’s Workshop, for six to 12 years olds, brings special guests to lead experiments with artistic techniques.

At the Leopold Museum, children five years and older can explore the museum with tailored tours and workshops through the exhibitions. Discover the secrets of selected artworks and find inspiration for the ensuing workshops.

Every Saturday from 2 pm to 5 pm, children between six and 12 years old can enjoy creative workshop afternoons at the LEO Kids Atelier. Children listen to exciting stories about the artists and their projects and draw inspiration to live out their own creativity by painting, drawing and experimenting with different materials.

Although the workshops at the Leopold Museum are held in German, children from all over the world are welcome. Advanced registration is strongly suggested.

Another attraction for the whole family is the “MQ Amore” sculpture park and mini-gold course in the courtyard in front of the MQ. There, you can experience contemporary art in a completely different way: through a round of mini-golf. At “MQ Amore”, each of the 12 mini-golf courses is a work of art. Navigating your ball through the course, you face challenges set by the artists. Suddenly, your fun round of golf will deal with larger contexts, geographical, and social themes.
