The Klimt Villa immerses you in the sensual world of Vienna's most famous Secessionist. Set in landscaped grounds in a leafy corner of Hietzing, the 1920s neo-baroque villa was built on and around the site of the artist's last studio (1911 to 1918), which opened to the public in September 2012 following a complete makeover.
Standouts include Moritz Nähr's original photos of the studio and garden, carefully reproduced furnishings, carpets, prints and paintings, as well as Klimt's sketches of models. Just as special is the intimate atmosphere of strolling through the painter's one-time house and gardens. With a little imagination you can still picture gorgeous dames swanning around here draped in flowing robes, as depicted in portraits such as Adele Bloch-Bauer II and Frederike Beer, which Klimt painted here. Guided tours take place at 2pm on Saturdays.
