Vienna's Hip Appeal

"After only four years of operation, the Museum Quarter has become one of the world's 10 largest and most popular museum and exhibition venues, rivaling the likes of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Pompidou Center in Paris. One critic wrote that the cultural megaplex, with almost 650,000 square feet of space, has bridged the gap between the imperial relics of the Habsburgs and the edgy art movements that have emerged in Vienna in recent decades.

More than 2.6 million people flock to the MQ every year, securing Vienna's reputation as one of the cultural crossroads in Europe. The complex's director, Wolfgang Waldner, calls it a prime example of a 'third place' -- a 21st century hybrid of hangout and multi-sensory cultural experience."
