The Architekturzentrum Wien in the MuseumsQuartier is the Austrian museum of architecture. It shows, discusses and researches the ways in which architecture and urban development influence and shape the daily life of each one of us.

The broad programme of the Architekturzentrum Wien is seen as a bridge between the specialist world and everyday experts. On a floor area of 2000 m2 the Az W presents international theme-related exhibitions, the new permanent exhibition “Hot Questions – Cold Storage” that offers an overview of Austrian architecture, and a total of 500 events during the year.

The Az W has established itself internationally, acquiring a reputation as an outstanding institution where architecture is communicated and researched. It provides a comprehensive service for researchers and all those interested in architecture. The facilities include a public reference library, the online building database “Architektur Austria Gegenwart” (Architecture Austria Contemporary), the online Lexicon of Architects, as well as a unique collection of material on Austrian architecture of the 20th and 21st century.
