So far this year, we already have several top guests announced, including: Jack Gleeson, for example, appeared last time out, along with the likes of Clive Standen, Kevin McNally, Anna Shaffer, Nikola Djuricko, and Luka Peroš. November offers a big opportunity for those who favour the geekier side of cinema, comics and/or cosplay: Vienna Comic Con is my favourite event of the year (November 18th and 19th). The Furniture Museum presents German design in the decades following WWII and compares east with westīonus: the Photo+Adventure fair and festival (November 11th and 12th) is big on travel photography, for example, which means lots of photo exhibitions from top photographers covering various locations and/or themes.The Frieden (peace) exhibition also starts up this month (from the 7th) Pop into the Jewish Museum to contemplate the works of photographer Maria Austria and to gain a glimpse into Jewish heritage and identities at five European football clubs.It also presents a solo exhibition for Maximilian Prüfer and introduces us to some modern Japanese calligraphy The Weltmuseum explores our potential futures through contemporary art (with a focus on indigenous voices) in its Science Fiction(s) exhibition.Or take a journey to a colder part of the planet in the Naturhistorisches Museum’s special Arctic exhibition (from November 8th).Take a trip back in time to the far off (?) days of the noughties (this century’s first decade): the Wien Museum MUSA has contemporary art from the era.We have the final days of the Literature Museum’s homage to Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann and the National Library’s Of Gardens and People exhibition (both until November 5th).Enjoy some highlights from one of the world’s most prestigious private art archives at the Heidi Horten Collection’s WOW 2 exhibition.More solo exhibitions, this time over at the Leopold Museum: for Max Oppenheimer and Gabriele Münter.Belvedere 21 gives Renate Bertlmann a deserved retrospective as one of Austria’s most renowned contemporary artists.

Lower Belvedere continues its detailed look at the palace complex and art venue’s 300 year history and presents early works by Louise Bourgeois in dialogue with her later art.Works by modern and contemporary Austrian and German greats enter a dialogue at the Albertina Modern.The paintings of Robert Motherwell feature at the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien.And, for example, the special coins exhibition Admire the work of Raphael and monumental tapestries of the Renaissance at the Kunsthistorisches Museum’s Silk and Gold exhibition.The Albertina has a Michelangelo-centered bonanza of drawings, prints and sculptures, as well as solo exhibitions for the remarkable Gottfried Helnwein, Joel Sternfeld, and Katharina Grosse.And those top exhibitions often appear later in the year. But, now and then, a couple stand out from the crowd.

With all its museums, Vienna hosts numerous exhibitions at any one time.
