Opening
Terminal Piece and Tolia Astakhishvili, Figure of the Child
Saturday, June 20, 2026, 2 to 8 pm

To mark the launch of its new program and the two exhibitions Terminal Piece and Tolia Astakhishvili, Figure of the Child, mumok cordially invites you to a day of encounters.

2–6 pm Free guided tours of the exhibitions every hour
Under the artistic direction of Michael Kleine, the grand opening day is dedicated to co-creation and exchange. In addition to regular guided tours of the current exhibitions, visitors can look forward to a diverse program of workshops, musical performances, and participatory formats that invite them to try things out and get involved.

2–5 pm poppets workshop with artist Birke Gorm
Vienna-based artist Birke Gorm works with materials that reflect information about social structures and capitalist systems. She relates the autonomy of these materials to traditional production techniques and the gender roles assigned to them, which in turn shape themes such as work, self-optimization, and processes of social equality. In her workshop poppets, Gorm invites participants to make dolls out of straw, hay, and flowers.

2–4 pm Viadukt Screen Printing Workshop – Live Printing Session 1
5–7 pm Viadukt Screen Printing Workshop – Live Printing Session 2
The Viadukt Screen Printing Workshop is bringing a mobile live printing station to mumok, allowing visitors to experience the screen printing process up close. You can have your own textiles, such as T-shirts or cloth bags, printed on-site with selected motifs from the mumok collection. Bring along the fabrics or garments you’d like to turn into personal keepsakes. 

2–7 pm Costume Collection Flea Market, Volkstheater
The neighboring Volkstheater is also joining us and opening its costume collection: Original costumes will be offered for sale at a flea market—a rare opportunity to take a piece of theater history home with you.

4–7 pm Collaborative Flower Wreath Making 
Through collaborative flower wreath making, a large wreath will be created as a collective effort, which will then be displayed in the museum as a decorative element and will continue to grow visibly throughout the day.

Admission to the exhibitions and all program events is free!
