For the ORF Long Night of Museums, the MQ becomes an experience space: music, culinary delights, and art create a sensual ambiance that invites visitors to linger and explore. The MuseumsQuartier Vienna is one of the largest art and cultural complexes in the world. It combines historic buildings with contemporary architecture and stands for openness, diversity, and social change – an urban space for everyone.

Austrian artist Thomas Feuerstein is presenting his exhibition "METABOLICA" at the MQ Freiraum (open -air museum). The cycle of works he has been working on since 2017 is being presented in its entirety for the first time. Feuerstein transforms the space into a molecular factory: algae and their fatty acids are used to create new materials, which are then formed into sculptures and subsequently returned to the cycle. The exhibition combines art and science, opening up new perspectives on resources, the circular economy, and future societal models.
