According to the MQW's website: "Enjoyment of Art and Joie de Vivre: With about 70 cultural facilities, the MuseumsQuartier Wien is one of the largest art and culture complexes in the world. The many courtyards, cafés, and shops throughout the complex lend it the additional quality of being an urban living room and an oasis of calm and recreation in the middle of the city. Historic buildings from the 18th and 19th century and contemporary museums form a unique architectural ensemble and create a special ambience. At the MuseumsQuartier Wien, the production and experience of art form an inseparable whole with recreation and relaxation."
