MuseumsQuartier

I have posted three pictures from the conference site (1, 2, 3). From their website:

The MuseumsQuartier Wien first opened in 2001. It now features almost 50 different facilities for contemporary art and culture and is one of the ten largest cultural complexes in the world, attracting some 2.7 million visitors each year.

This is an absolutely amazing facility. It is a mix of galleries, event halls, dance studios, and art museums with significant holdings. It is a public space, so the conference-goers mix with a diverse population. There are restaurants, bars, an outdoor courtyard. You can see from the interior shot that even the main hall has a capital-D design. It is far removed from the typical beige hotel ballroom that hold most of these functions. An inspiring space to hold a big-think conference. I’m sure I will post more photos from here.
