MUMOK

MUMOK is the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, located in the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, Austria. It is one of the most important museums for modern and contemporary art in Austria and Central Europe. The museum's collection spans a wide range of artistic movements from the 20th and 21st centuries, with particular strengths in Pop Art, Fluxus, and Viennese Actionism.

Founded in 1962 as the Museum of the 20th Century, it was renamed in 1979 to acknowledge the significant donation from the collector Peter Ludwig. The current building, designed by Ortner & Ortner, opened in 2001. MUMOK's holdings include works by artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Nam June Paik, and Günter Brus. Beyond its permanent collection, the museum hosts a dynamic program of temporary exhibitions, educational events, and film screenings, aiming to engage diverse audiences with contemporary artistic practices and discourse. Its distinctive dark basalt exterior is a recognizable landmark within the vibrant cultural hub of the MuseumsQuartier.
