Klimt-Villa
The Klimt-Villa stands in Vienna’s Hietzing district, built around Gustav Klimt’s final studio. Gustav Klimt worked here from 1911 until 1918.
The original site held a simple, single-storey cottage, rather than the two-storey villa visible today. The building became a neo-baroque villa in the early 1920s.
The villa’s architecture preserves both Klimt’s working environment and the later history of the property. Its reconstructed studio forms the centre of the exhibition.
Reproductions of Klimt’s final works stand on easels inside the studio. The reception room follows designs by Josef Hoffmann and uses reconstructed historic details.
Other rooms explore Klimt’s models, clients, relationships and final years in Vienna. Information panels connect these personal stories with the building’s changing history.
A garden of about 6,000 square metres surrounds the villa and provides a quiet setting. The exhibitions also present the site as a museum and memorial.
The Klimt-Villa records how one artist’s studio became part of Vienna’s architectural heritage.
