Hofmobiliendepot. Imperial Furniture Collection
The permanent collection at the Hofmobiliendepot. Imperial Furniture Collection has two rooms set aside for examples of Viennese Modernism. The period around 1900 represented a turning point in the history of design, with floral designs having set the tone for Art Nouveau shortly before the dawn of the 20th century. Several chairs by Joseph Maria Olbrich and a full set of apartment furnishings designed by Styrian architects Forabosco feature in this display. There are also various pieces by Otto Wagner, including items that the architect designed for the Austrian Post Savings Bank, as well as a desk and stool. Other highlights are a bentwood armchair by Joseph Hoffmann, who studied under Wagner, and furniture made by the Wiener Werkstätte for the Imperial State Printworks. The second section of the Viennese Modernism collection presents valuable pieces by Adolf Loos: An eight-legged elephant trunk table, a dining room set, and a chair from the legendary Café Museum, where Gustav Klimt and his contemporaries liked to congregate.
Klimt Villa
From 1911 until his death in 1918, Gustav Klimt used a villa in Vienna's 13th district as a studio. This is being renovated and should be open again to the public as of autumn 2012. Originally a single story garden house, Klimt used this building as his studio and workshop throughout his late phase. The studio on the ground floor is being painstakingly reconstructed using contemporary images and descriptions. The second room contains an exhibition documenting Klimt's life and the influence that the Far East had on his art.
Madame Tussauds
Visitors to Madame Tussauds at the Prater have the chance to meet Gustav Klimt "in person" and can have their photograph taken alongside a waxwork of the painter. Madame Tussauds is famous for its wax figures of national and international celebrities and leading historical figures.
