As a symbol of Viennese cultural significance, Museumsquartier is a successful blend of historic locale, modern architecture, and innovative public space design. Anchored by the Museum Moderner Kunst and the Leopold Museum, more than twenty large, medium-sized, and small cultural institutions are gathered as a collective identity here. Though the enzis (the distinctive yellow street furniture) are not original to the design of the space, they activate the plaza and add another layer of function and fun to the district.http://www.mumok.at/?L=1http://www.mumok.at/?L=1http://www.leopoldmuseum.org/enhttp://www.leopoldmuseum.org/enshapeimage_6_link_0shapeimage_6_link_1shapeimage_6_link_2shapeimage_6_link_3
