Vienna's Museum Quarter is a spectacular cultural complex located on the fringe of Vienna's old city and one of the world's eight largest museum districts. It is a sensational blend of revitalized baroque architecture (the former court stables) and impressive modern edifices designed by architects Laurids & Manfred Ortner and Manfred Wehdorn.

The new cultural district comprises the chalk-white Leopold Museum in the new section, the Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna shrouded in dark-grey basalt, the Kunsthalle, Halls E und G (Vienna Festival, Dance Centre), the Architektur Zentrum Wien (Vienna Architecture Centre), the Zoom Children's Museum, a children's theatre, the Tobacco Museum Art Cult Center and experimental areas for cultural initiatives.
