Great Hall at Mumok-Hofstallung

Beschreibung

The great hall (370 m²) in the oval tract of the historic building complex was specifically modified to accommodate the services of a modern event venue fulfilling all of the latest technical and infrastructural requirements. The painting by Otto Zitko covering the arched ceiling, the original marble troughs all seen in the light of chandeliers designed by Joseph Zehrer create a perfect synthesis of the old and the new.

Mumok - Hofstallung refers to the Hofstallung (literally "royal stables") building that is now part of the MUMOK (Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien) complex in Vienna, Austria.

Originally, the Hofstallung was constructed in the 18th century to house the royal horses and carriages of the Habsburg monarchy. It was later converted into an exhibition space for modern and contemporary art as part of the MuseumsQuartier (MQ), a cultural district in Vienna. MUMOK, one of the prominent institutions in MQ, often uses this historical space for large temporary exhibitions and events, combining both modern art and historical architecture.
