2012 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Gustav Klimt, an Austrian painter and illustrator. Ten Viennese museums will herald the event with special exhibitions throughout the year, featuring his paintings, drawings and designs. The Belvedere has the world’s largest collection of Klimt paintings, where a special exhibition is already underway highlighting his collaboration with Josef Hoffmann. Later, in May, don’t miss the first public viewing of the Wien Museum’s collection of 400 Klimt drawings. In the meanwhile, don’t miss the Art History Museum event beginning next month, or the spectacular events scheduled for Albertina, the Theatre Museum, Kuenstlerhaus, Folklore Museum, Leopold or the Museum of Applied Art.
