Top 3 Exhibitions
April 2026
Albertina Modern
KAWS: Art & Comix
3 April to 27 September 2026
What can you expect?
The exhibition “KAWS: Art & Comix” at the Albertina Modern in Vienna shows how KAWS translates visual worlds from comics, pop culture, and street art into contemporary art. His familiar characters and motifs are juxtaposed with works by other artists, revealing the close relationship between art and mass culture. The show illustrates how playfully and critically KAWS engages with familiar imagery.
Heidi Horten Collection
Animalia. Of Animals and Humans
Until August 30, 2026
What to expect?
The exhibition explores the multifaceted relationship between humans and animals through over 100 artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries. Its starting point is the biological concept of humans and animals as beings of equal standing, which contrasts with the hierarchy shaped by humans. The works reveal the roles animals play in human perceptions—from companions to objects of exploitation—and in doing so, always reflect humanity’s self-image. At the same time, the exhibition encourages a rethinking of animals as fellow beings within a shared model of life.
Leopold Museum
GUSTAVE COURBET: Realist and Rebel
until 21 June 2026
What can you expect?
The exhibition presents Courbet as an uncompromising artist who deliberately defied academic conventions with his work. On display are paintings from all phases of his career, from provocative self-portraits and everyday scenes to landscapes and nudes. The show makes clear how Courbet’s realism profoundly challenged 19th-century art and society.

Everything in Progress
until 30 August 2026
What can you expect?
The exhibition at the Dom Museum Vienna is dedicated to the complex topic of “work” – as a social necessity, a personal question of meaning, and a political challenge. Works from the Middle Ages to the present day are on display, revealing different forms of work – from physical and creative to invisible, unpaid, or refused work. Drawing on historical and contemporary perspectives, the show illuminates how work structures our lives, shapes identity, and is continually renegotiated.

What awaits you?
Experience the Titanic like never before – with 360º projections, interactive stories, and virtual reality. Join the Callaghan family on their journey, marvel at the legendary rooms, and immerse yourself in the Titanic’s final moments – emotional, impressive, and technically state-of-the-art.

mumok
Never Final! The Museum in Transition
shortened until 3 Mai 2026
What can you expect?
“Never final” – this phrase, coined by Hertha Firnberg, continues to define mumok as a dynamic place of change. The exhibition focuses primarily on one date: 26 April 1979. This marks a milestone for today’s mumok: the expansion of the collections of the former 20er Haus through extensive and art-historically significant permanent loans from Peter and Irene Ludwig of Aachen.
Tobias Pils: Shh
extended until 17 Mai 2026
What can you expect?
The exhibition presents new works by the Austrian artist that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. In large-format drawings and paintings, Pils explores the tension between intuition and structure – often in black and white colours, with dense, almost meditative imagery. The exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in a quiet, ambiguous visual language.
The world of tomorrow will have been another present
extended until 17 Mai 2026
What can you expect?
The exhibition presents five large-scale installations by Nikita Kadan, Barbara Kapusta, Frida Orupabo, Lisl Ponger and Anita Witek. Each of these artists engages with works of classical modernism from the mumok collection and enters into an exciting dialogue with them. The show combines contemporary perspectives with art historical references, thus creating new interpretations and contexts. With further works by Alberto Giacometti, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Fernand Léger, René Magritte, Man Ray and many others.

Animalia. Of Animals and Humans
Until August 30, 2026
What to expect?
The exhibition explores the multifaceted relationship between humans and animals through over 100 artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries. Its starting point is the biological concept of humans and animals as beings of equal standing, which contrasts with the hierarchy shaped by humans. The works reveal the roles animals play in human perceptions—from companions to objects of exploitation—and in doing so, always reflect humanity’s self-image. At the same time, the exhibition encourages a rethinking of animals as fellow beings within a shared model of life.
