mumok - Museum of Modern Art

The mumok is one of the largest and most centralised museums in Europe, collecting and researching art since modernism and presenting it to a broad public interested in art in its exhibitions.
The collection ranges from classical modernism with works of Cubism, Futurism and Surrealism to Pop Art, Fluxus, Nouveau Realisme and Viennese Actionism. Central to the exhibition programme are coordinated collection and special exhibitions, which include both monographic and thematic projects and, in addition to modernism and the neo-avant-garde, pay particular attention to the art of the younger generation.

The collection spans the full range from works from classical modernity, Cubism, Futurism and Surrealism up to the art movements of the 1960s and 1970s, Pop Art, Fluxus and Nouveau Réalisme. The collection contains early 20th century paintings and sculptures from among others Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti. In addition to important Pop Art works by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, other significant positions such as Fluxus, conceptual art and Viennese Actionism are also present. In the coming years, mumok’s collection will continue to expand addressing current positions in film, video and photography.

MUMOK presents large-scale exhibitions with contemporary art and the avant-gardes since 1945 with figures such as Yves Klein, John Baldessari, Jeff Wall, Erwin Wurm or Claes Oldenburg – as well as thematically oriented exhibitions such as new media, photography and performance.
