**PROGRAM**  
This kiss to the whole world! Already celebrated as the best-known Art Nouveau artist shortly after 1900, Gustav Klimt still ranks as one of the most influential painters in art history around the globe today. The painting *The Kiss* (1908) became a universal symbol of love and peace. Klimt’s enigmatic portraits of women and his distinctive gold leaf ornamentation have shaped art through the present day. But how did the son of a gold engraver succeed in his meteoric rise, which made him a leading personality of the Viennese modern age? This tour will familiarize you with the works of Gustav Klimt and his contemporaries, such as Auguste Rodin and Elena Luksch-Makowsky.

\* This price is a lump sum for a sixty-minute guided tour for groups of max. 20 people during standard opening hours. Should your group comprise more than 20 people, we will arrange additional guided tours at the applicable rate. Excl. entrance tickets.
