About this audio guide
This guide to the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna traces this courtyard from imperial stables built for six hundred horses under Charles the Sixth, through a bombed-out trade fair hall, to the argument over a glass reading tower that Viennese activists fought and won. It follows an artist who dragged oversized foam loungers into the empty courtyard almost on a whim. See if you can guess this year's color before you read the plaques.
