The MuseumQuartier (MQ), a new centre for the arts and culture that opened in June 2001 in central Vienna, has developed into a popular attraction. Consisting of 60,000 square metres, it belongs among the ten largest cultural areas in the world. In a complex combining historical and contemporary architecture, the spectrum of cultural facilities ranges from large art museums to centres for dance, theatre, film and architecture. From September 2002, the MQ will be hosting more than 20 innovative cultural events, including, electronic art and media, fashion and design, art mediation as well an international artist-in-residence programme. This book presents and describes the complete (interior) architecture, from the much-praised new buildings by Ortner & Ortner, and Manfred Wehdorn's renovations of protected historical buildings to the architectural plans by, for example, AllesWirdGut, querkraft, PPAG Anna Popelka and Georg Poduschka and BEHF. With a concise section presenting basic information for a visit to the site, the book is a tailor-made guide for every culture tourist.
