Edificio de la Secesión de Viena, diseñado por Joseph Maria Olbrich (1897-1898), es un ícono del Modernismo vienés, construido como sede para el grupo de artistas de la Secesión vienesa liderado por Klimt para exhibir arte nuevo y romper con la tradición. Su característica más famosa es su cúpula dorada de "hojas de laurel" (la Blattwerk-Kuppel), simbolizando libertad y arte, y en su interior destaca la sala principal con luz cenital (el primer "cubo blanco") y el Friso de Beethoven de Gustav Klimt en el sótano.

Chio Mar

Pasé de noche, de camino al alojamiento. Tenía una música puesta. Es un espacio de exhibición para artistas vanguardistas, símbolo del movimiento artístico "Secesión Vienesa", ( Gustav Klimt) Tiene una inscripción en la puerta: "A cada tiempo su arte, a cada arte su libertad". Lo corona una cúpula de hojas de laurel doradas ("la col de oro")

interesante valla historia, pero no merece la pena el dineral que te cuesta entrar, el friso se ve en cinco minutos o menos 13 euros.
