Club of artists-innovators
In 1897, Gustav Klimt, along with other artists, left the conservative House of Artists and founded a new art association called the Secession. In 1898 a house of the same name was built. In 1897/98, the architect Josef Maria Olbrich built a modern Art Nouveau exhibition space, which is now one of Vienna's most famous buildings, on a plot of land provided by the city administration on Vinzaile Street in Nashmarkt. The dome with an ornament in the form of leaves ("golden head") is a symbol of Secession and visible from afar.→

For lovers of non-trivial architecture
The architecture of the building is like no other. Josef Olbrich realized the order of the artistic association, to which he himself belonged, for something extraordinary and intriguing, having built a snow-white "temple of art". The pediment of the building is decorated with a gilded inscription with the words "Each time - its own art, each art - its own freedom. " Today, the building hosts exhibitions of contemporary art, and the famous "Beethoven Frieze" by Klimt is stored in the basement of the Secession.→
