WUK, Arts centre and event venue in Alsergrund district, Vienna, Austria.

WUK (Werkstätten- und Kulturhaus) is an alternative cultural centre at Währinger Straße 59 in Vienna's 9th district, Alsergrund, housed in the former Maschinenfabriken complex. The red-brick building with a grey stone base, arched windows and pale stone bands carries the inscriptions "WIR SIND MEHR" and "KUNST • KULTUR • NACHBAR"; a stone balcony with statues sits above the entrance. Its over 12,000 square metres hold the Kunsthalle Exnergasse, performance and music rooms, workshops and the autonomous women's centre FZ on Stiege 6.

Georg Sigl, a locksmith and industrial pioneer, built a locomotive factory on the site in 1855, with a director's residence facing Währinger Straße. After the 1873 stock market crash he sublet parts of the plant and switched to general machine building, producing stage machinery for the Vienna State Opera and ironwork for the Votivkirche. In 1884 the Technologisches Gewerbemuseum moved in; it left for Brigittenau in 1979/80, after which the building became the WUK.

The name WUK stands for Werkstätten- und Kulturhaus, workshops and culture house. Its seven self-governed sections decide in a monthly plenary, and around 150 groups and individuals work under this roof. The building also holds the FZ women's centre on Stiege 6, one of Europe's oldest, and the Statt-Beisl café-restaurant.

WUK occupies the block at Währinger Straße 59 in Alsergrund, a short walk from the Währinger Straße–Volksoper U6 station. The complex is divided into staircases (Stiegen); the FZ women's centre is on Stiege 6, and the Café-Restaurant Statt-Beisl and FZ Bar are open to the public. Check the programme before visiting, as the Kunsthalle Exnergasse and stages keep their own opening times.

The brick facade carries the inscriptions "WIR SIND MEHR" and "KUNST • KULTUR • NACHBAR", and a stone balcony with statues projects above the entrance. Inside, the former locomotive factory's director had a representational and residential wing built on the Währinger Straße side, following early-industrial custom.
