By visiting the museum, you will be able to attend one of the many contemporary art screenings in one of the small rooms planned for this purpose.

It's the WAM! This new museum, which opened in mid-March 2024, is dedicated, as its name suggests, to Viennese activism, a provocative artistic movement of the revolutionary Austrian avant-garde, active between 1962 and 1968.

WAM's extensive collection includes works by Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler.
