From the streets of Imperial Vienna to the natural world of water lilies, vibrant blooms and mermaids, to the late-19th-century Austrian artist’s acclaimed ‘Golden Phase.’ Which for this Modernist artist meant the addition of glittering gold leaf within some of his artworks. Immersive Klimt invites visitors to lose themselves in the vivid imagery and bold colours!

Klimt was part of the Art Nouveau movement in the early 1900s reflecting the vibrancy of city life, through flat decorative patterns, plant motifs and the female form.

The immersive digital journey will transport visitors through the evolution of Gustav Klimt as an artist. There will be thousands of hand-drawn sketches along with some of his master works including his most famous work, “The Kiss,” as well as “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I,” and “The Tree of Life.”
