Kunsthalle Wien

With no collection of its own, Kunsthalle Wien devotes itself entirely to changing exhibitions of international contemporary art. Its solo and thematic shows focus on art and its relations to social change, so the programme suits visitors who come for current artistic practice and ideas rather than established masterpieces.

Founded in 1992, the Kunsthalle is the City of Vienna's institution for contemporary art and discourse, with two locations: one in the Museumsquartier and one at Karlsplatz. Beyond producing exhibitions, it researches art practices and supports both local and international artists. It aims to root its knowledge of international contemporary art in Vienna and argues for the value of artistic thinking in public life.
