About this place
The Murinsel is an artificial floating island made of steel and glass that sits in the middle of the Mur river. Shaped like a half-open shell, it was designed by artist Vito Acconci to connect the riverbanks and bring people closer to the water. It houses an open-air amphitheater and a futuristic café. Originally a temporary project for 2003, it has become a permanent and beloved landmark of the city.
