The MuseumsQuartier (MQ) is a remarkable cultural complex located on the edge of the Old City. It's worth seeing just for the revitalized baroque architecture (the former court stables) blended with modern design. The MQ is actually five separate museums combined with centers for dance and architecture, as well as cafes and restaurants. It's a must-see. Each of the MQ's five museums is worth a visit, but the Leopold Museum (http://www.leopoldmuseum.at) is a local favorite; it features the work of Austrian painters from the 19th and 20th centuries, including outstanding works from Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. Daily and holidays 10 am-6 pm; open Thursday until 9 pm. Admission into the complex is free. Prices vary for the individual museums; combination tickets are available. The prices for combination tickets range 17 euros-29 euros, depending on the number of museums included. Museumsplatz 1-5 (Seventh), Vienna. Phone 523-5881. http://www.mqw.at.
