Ten years after "Museum of Desires", her inaugural exhibition at mumok, Karola Kraus is organizing with her team a collection presentation that showcases central gifts and acquisitions from the past decade in order to shed new light on the collection‘s development. This exhibition, following twenty years after mumok opened in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier and forty years after the founding of the Austrian Ludwig Foundation, is both a survey of the past and a glimpse ahead to the future. As past years are reviewed, new perspectives are proposed as basis for the museum’s future collection and exhibition activities.
The presentation sets out to convey art history since modernism as a living process reflecting ever-changing socio-political, socio-cultural, and philosophical develop- ments and discourses.

With exhibitions including monographic and themed shows, it is a forum not only for modernism and the neo-avant-garde, but also and particularly for contemporary artists.
