All the best cultural events happening in Vienna right NOW & in the upcoming weeks

There aren’t many artists with as much joy and sense of humour as Marc Chagall. In his paintings, you’ll find love, motherhood, whimsy, and life’s mysteries. Come check this out—you won’t regret it!

The Albertina Museum is putting on a solo exhibition for Franz Grabmayr, showcasing his nature-inspired paintings and graphic works. Grabmayr’s art is known for its lively brushstrokes and sculptural feel, capturing elements like water, fire, and earth. Up close, his works look like a paint mess, but from a distance, you can see landscapes and figures. You should come and try it. It’s really cool.

The Albertina is showcasing Robert Longo’s realistic charcoal drawings, known for their powerful and dynamic depiction of dramatic moments. Longo’s work, which transforms well-known photographs into colossal, visually impactful black-and-white images, emphasises the interplay of light and shadow. It’s a really creepy how lifelike they are. You should come check it out!

If you have a friend who finds Viennese summer a little too cheery, take them to this new exhibition at Albertina. ‘The Aesthetics of Evil’ dives deep into Alfred Kubin’s dark and haunting art, showcasing his obsession with the eerie and macabre. Have a look at some creepy paintings and go for ice cream afterward.

The Belvedere is celebrating the 300th birthday of Franz Anton Maulbertsch, the Baroque artist who rocked the Vienna art scene with his dramatic and almost creepy style. Now, you can see the world’s largest collection of his colorful works in the beautiful Upper Belvedere.

For the first time in Austria, the Belvedere Museum is hosting a retrospective dedicated to Hannah Höch, a renowned German painter and graphic artist famous for her collage and photomontage work. With our 21st-century mosaic thinking, Höch’s works appear surprisingly contemporary and more relevant than ever.

The Leopold Museum is showcasing art that emerged in response to the aftermath of World War I and the ‘Golden Twenties.’ This exhibition features works by artists like Max Beckmann and Otto Dix, who depicted the era’s harsh realities and newfound optimism with a realistic and purist style.

‘Pomp & Embossment’ at the Kunsthistorisches Museum is all about cool medals and art from royal courts. So, there are going to be a lot of shiny pieces that you’ll really want to steal for your cabinet of curiosities, but won’t be able to.

Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’ is a classic that hits the sweet spot for both kids and adults. It’s a bit of Austrian heritage that’s easy on the young minds, yet packed with enough politics, psychology, and quirky gender dynamics to keep the adults tuned in.
