Museum opening times over Christmas

Hi





I%26#39;m trying to find out whether museums in the the Museum Quarter in Vienna are open over Christmas - specifically Boxing Day. I%26#39;ve checked a couple of wesites (Mumok %26amp; Kunst Museum) and they don%26#39;t say.





Thanks

The Vienna Tourist office usually posts a good list of things open during the Holiday periods including museums and restaurants.



I think a little too soon for this perhaps but you can check.





www.wien.info





For the Museum Quarter - using the Leopold Museum as an example



December 24 - closed



December 25 - January 6 open daily at 10 AM



This probably applirea to most all in the Quarter.





For other museums a partial list including the Kunsthistoriches Museum - Fine Arts Museum





www.khm.at





you can find a list of openings under visitors information.



Kunsthistorisches as most places are open December 25 and 26.





You probably already know that the major celebrations for the Christmas time are held on December 24th- Christmas Eve.



many have a family gathering with a gala dinner and exchange of small gifts.



Many places close early or are even closed for the day of the 24th to allow for preparations for this time.





25 and 26 are holidays with families often making outings , walks in the parks, visits etc.





best to reserve for the 24th evening meal- many places with a fixed menu.





Great time to visit Vienna.





You will find the Schonbrunn Christmas Market open on the 25th also
