Gustav Klimt in Vienna
Belvedere
With 24 Klimt paintings, the Belvedere has the largest and most significant collection of Klimt paintings in the world. Among them is the most famous kiss in art history: Klimt’s 180 x 180 cm masterpiece, The Kiss, is on display in the Upper Belvedere alongside many other Klimt paintings as part of the permanent exhibition “Schau! The Belvedere Collection from Cranach to EXPORT”.
Leopold Museum
One of Klimt’s most famous paintings, Death and Life, can be viewed in the Leopold Museum alongside many other works from the hand of this Art Nouveau figurehead. This late work is one of Klimt’s great allegories, in which he uses a bold composition to explore the cycle of human life.
Wien Museum
The Wien Museum also has an impressive Klimt collection. Particular highlights are the portrait of his muse Emilie Flöge and Pallas Athene. The museum also happens to own the world's biggest collection of Klimt drawings: it calls 411 of them its own. These drawings are not on permanent display, however, for conservation reasons.
Theater Museum
The Theater Museum at Palais Lobkowitz is one of the largest and most prominent of its kind in the world. It is also home to a very special guest: Klimt’s Nuda Veritas from 1899. The painting depicts the naked Marie Zimmermann and holds up a mirror to visitors in the form of the proverbial “naked truth” – a life-size nude figure reflecting contemporary ideals.
Secession
The Secession building is one of Vienna's most stunning attractions. Fans of Klimt, a co-founder of the movement, will find his world-famous 1902 Beethoven Frieze there. This cycle, dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven, adorns three walls and measures approximately 34 by 2 meters.
Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna
The stairwell of the Kunsthistorisches Museum is of particular interest to Klimt fans. Here 40 spandrel paintings and other decorative works adorn the narrow sections of wall between the arches and columns. Eleven of these were completed by Gustav Klimt, and the remainder by his brother Ernst and Franz Matsch. The images depict the history of art and applied arts from their ancient Egyptian beginnings to the modern age.
Burgtheater
Valuable sketches by Gustav Klimt for the ceiling paintings above the grand staircase of the Burgtheater were discovered in the attic of the theatre in the late 1990s, rescuing this priceless trove of studies, including the artist's only self-portrait, from destruction. Today these sketches are on display in a dedicated Klimt room which can be seen as part of a guided tour that also takes in the ceiling paintings above the grand staircase.
MAK - Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna
Josef Hoffmann and Gustav Klimt joined forces to work on the Palais Stoclet in Brussels. Between 1905 and 1909 Klimt designed the Stoclet Frieze. His nine study sketches are on display in Vienna at the MAK. The MAK also owns the estate of the world-famous Wiener Werkstätte which contains studies, model books, photo volumes, original fabric patterns, embroideries and the full company archive.
