Art and Culture of Fin de Siecle, by Gavin Plumley There will be a small number of seats available for visitors for £10. Advance booking essential by emailing [email protected]

Around 1900 Vienna was a cultural hotbed. It was the capital of a vast empire and produced many painters such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Josef Hoffman, along with psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, composer Gustav Mahler and philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Gavin Plumley looks at the society at that time and how it gave rise to new ideas.
