Klimt Villa Vienna
The Klimt Villa in Vienna is one of the most significant historical sites in regard to Viennese Modernism. It was the last studio of the world-famous painter Gustav Klimt, who lived and worked here from 1911 until his death in 1918. Some of his most important late works were created in its rooms, which have been preserved in their original state. Today, the villa serves as a museum providing an authentic insight into the artist’s life and work. The Klimt Villa offers visitors a historical atmosphere and changing exhibitions that explore Klimt’s art and his cultural milieu in depth.
The special exhibition ‘Klimt Lost’ is dedicated to the painter’s lost or destroyed works and tells the moving story of lost art treasures. The combination of history, art, and architecture makes the Klimt Villa a very special cultural experience in Vienna.
