Renovation work

Continuous operation since 2001 and changes in technical requirements for running a modern museum have made it necessary to carry out fundamental renovations at mumok. In recent years, it was possible to keep the museum open for business during some of our modernization measures. For example in 2021, when mumok was certified as a Green Museum with the Austrian Ecolabel as well as the lighting system being converted to LED in all areas of the museum and the entire security system updated. 
The work and modifications still to be implemented include renewing the entire ventilation system, flooring, and walls in all exhibition areas, humidity remediation, modernizing fire protection, and renovating washroom facilities. 
To avoid any risk to visitors or artworks, this extensive work has to take place outside of day-to-day business operations. It will be carried out in a closely coordinated process so that it is completed quickly, thus saving on resources and costs, and sustainably.
