The current FAB 5 Combo Ticket covers Architekturzentrum Wien, Kunsthalle Wien, Leopold Museum, mumok, and MQ Freiraum; a separate Duo Ticket covers Leopold Museum and mumok. Check the current price at the museum desks. Perfect for art lovers planning to explore modern and contemporary Austrian art. The combined ticket allows revisiting museums within the validity period. Purchase at any of the three museum ticket desks. The MuseumsQuartier courtyard provides pleasant space between museum visits. Essential for serious art enthusiasts but limited appeal beyond these specific museums. Consider if spending significant time in the MQ cultural complex.
