in the moya, mainly contemporary young european art was presented even though there was a concentration on regional art from vienna and austria and its neighbouring countries. the moya functioned as a gate the east with its many exhibitions and artists from eastern europe. the annual show `young art global´ regularly put the regional context in a broader spatialtemporal perspective with international artists from all over the world. the moya was closely related to the diplomatic circle in vienna and collaborated with cultural institutes and international art institutions in the countries. in 2014 the moya received the flame of peace, an award given by members of the habsburg family for contributions to world peace.
