Secession Vienna, 1900
Vienna in 1900 stands at the height of its Ringstrasse splendour while a new Secession of artists reshapes visual culture. The walk follows the Ring and its adjacent streets: imperial palaces, Otto Wagner's Stadtbahn pavilions and Majolica façades, Klimt's Secession hall, crowded markets and cafés where composers, critics and early modern thinkers meet.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Vienna as it stood in 1900 (“Vienna Secession”).
