Beschreibung

Discover Klimt's life and work as you read, draw and play

Discover Vienna in 1900
The Viennese Art and its artists
Enter the secret garden
Of the famous painter Gustav Klimt
Waltz with his fascinating goddesses
And their jewels made of golden arabesques
Take a turn in boat
On a peaceful lake
In an enchanted orchard,
Under an apple tree
Dream of the softness of a kiss…

VIENNA – 1900

Until 1918, Vienna was the metropolis of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The emperor François-Joseph, Sissi’s husband, rules over an empire of 17 countries. The city is enlarged to greet newcomers and a huge boulevard is built around the city: the Ring. Majestic buildings, theatres, operas, parliament, museum, a university, private houses are erected. They are decorated in a historic style, as if they had been standing there forever. The columns, arcades, sculptures, paintings, remind us of Greek temples or mediaeval cathedrals…

Vienna is the city of music. Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Strauss lived there. One hails a coach to go to the opera of which Mahler is the director. Freud writes his Interpretation of Dreams. Yet while some are having fun in the Prater Parc, waltzing in the café-concert halls at balls, a threat hovers over the imperial city. Vienna mixing up elements of renewal and decay glitters but not for much longer.

Gustav Klimt was born on the 4th
