Grand Opening in 2025
Initiated by the City of Vienna in autumn 2022, the FOTO ARSENAL WIEN opens up to all facets of photography as a media competence centre.
From June 2023 to June 2024, the institution was located at a temporary site in the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna's 7th district.
In August 2023, construction work began on the FOTO ARSENAL WIEN on the site of the Arsenal in Vienna's 3rd district. The grand opening is planned for 2025.
FOTO ARSENAL WIEN will show several temporary exhibitions by international and national artists every year on around 1,000 square metres. The programme is rounded off by a wide range of educational activities and workshops for children, school classes and adults, where photography can be experienced and learned.
FOTO ARSENAL WIEN will also have a café and restaurant with attractive outdoor areas, thus making a significant contribution to the infrastructure for the approximately 2,500 residents and employees in the Arsenal.
Until the opening, FOTO ARSENAL WIEN organises various pop-up events at different locations.
