Luggage storage at MuseumsQuartier Wien

A morning of galleries at MuseumsQuartier Wien is far less fun with a suitcase rolling behind you, especially when your train or check-in time doesn't line up with opening hours.

Inside the complex, mumok has a cloakroom where bigger bags must go. Nearby, the Vienna State Opera also takes bulky bags in its free cloakrooms. You'll find MuseumsQuartier Wien in Vienna's 7th district. It is one of the world's largest arts and culture complexes, combining major museums, exhibition venues, dining options and art installations in public spaces where contemporary architecture meets historic buildings, so there's plenty to explore. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations near MuseumsQuartier Wien.

Can you bring a backpack into mumok and the MQ grounds?

Take only a small bag into mumok's galleries, because anything larger than about 28 × 35 cm, rucksacks and suitcases included, has to go in the cloakroom. The outdoor courtyards work differently: they're free to enter and open 24 hours a day, and mumok's cloakroom rule applies only once you head into its galleries. If you plan to go up the MQ Libelle viewing platform as well, it's open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with the last ascent at 9:30 p.m., but it closes for winter from November to February.

Where to leave bags near Museumsquartier Wien for the day

For a bag you'd rather not haul between galleries all day, Stasher storage near Museumsquartier Wien starts from €1.49 per bag per day. Every booking is covered by the Stasher Guarantee up to €12,000. Some points stay open late, including a 24/7 option, so a late pickup after the museums close isn't a problem. Fridays and Sundays, plus January and November, are the busiest times for bookings around here, so book ahead then. Most drop-offs are booked between 09:00 and 12:00, so allow a little extra time if you arrive in that window.

Getting to Museumsquartier Wien with luggage

The closest U-Bahn stop is MuseumsQuartier on the U2, about a 1-minute walk away, which keeps the distance you drag a suitcase to a minimum. Volkstheater, on both the U2 and U3, also serves the complex, and bus 57A stops at Getreidemarkt. A single fare covers a whole one-way journey however many times you change lines. If you're arriving by long-distance coach, the VIB Vienna International Busterminal sits at Vienna Erdberg, on the U3, the same line that serves Volkstheater.

Kunsthistorisches Museum: arriving from Westbahnhof or Hauptbahnhof

If you're heading on to the Kunsthistorisches Museum, take the U3 to Volkstheater from Westbahnhof, or tram D to the Burgring/Kunsthistorisches Museum stop from Hauptbahnhof. From September 8, 2026, admission to the Kunsthistorisches Museum requires a reserved time-slot ticket, so book one before you set off.
