• Belvedere Museum - The National Gallery of Belvedere has the most impressive collection of Gustav Klimt’s canvases. Regardless of which aspect of his art you are interested in, in the Belvedere, you will find his portraits, landscapes, and the prominent works of his “Golden Period”.

• Skip-the-line tickets for the Belvedere Palace
• Guided tour by a professional art historian

Promotional signs throughout Vienna constantly invite passersby to the Belvedere to witness ‘the most celebrated kiss’. On our tour, you will fully comprehend the significance of The Kiss, and have the opportunity to decide whose interpretations are more convincing: those of art historians, marketing professionals or spectators.

Not only will you decipher Klimt’s unique style, but you’ll also observe how the turn of the century is reflected in this exceptional artist’s work.

We’ll follow Klimt’s creative journey from his initial ‘Portrait of an Unknown Woman’ to his incomplete ‘Bride’, abandoned in his studio when the artist was abruptly transported to the hospital by an ambulance.

Klimt had long earned the reputation of ‘the painter of beautiful women’, and we will show you why current academic opinions suggest Klimt understood his models’ yearnings better than his contemporary Sigmund Freud comprehended his patients’ troubles.

During this tour, we’ll delve deeper into the aesthetics of Klimt’s art, accompanied by the work of his contemporaries and rivals, while understanding why this artist has such a profound significance to the city of Vienna.

So, if your interest extends beyond just ‘The Kiss’ to unravel the complex connotations within Klimt’s masterpieces, this tour of the Klimt collection at the Belvedere is perfect for you.
