Secession

The Secession – the iconic Art Nouveau building with a golden dome – is a leading center for contemporary art and a true Viennese landmark. Visitors can experience changing exhibitions from international positions and, in the basement, admire Gustav Klimt's famous Beethoven Frieze. 🎨

The motto "To each age its art. To art its freedom" is prominently displayed on the façade, and the striking sculpture of three Gorgons welcomes guests. The accompanying program includes guided tours, exhibition talks, lectures, podcasts, and various audio-guide formats – including an AI-assisted smartphone guide and ÖGS video guide. For schools and families there are special offers: family tours from age 5 and intergenerational workshops. 👪
