The flames broke out in the area of the rear entrance to the building and subsequently spread over the facade to the roof structure. 150 firefighters were in action, and there were no injuries. While the Gugging Museum will be open again from Saturday, the Cafe Bistro on the campus will remain closed for the time being due to fire damage.
