Who is Török Viki?

I am an economist who loves to travel and loves visual arts. I came from a small Hungarian city and since my childhood I drive my friend...

For the celebration of Gustav Klimt's 150th birthday this summer Vienna is already
well prepared. Wherever you go in the city you will see some of his arts.
I went to the Kunst Historischen Museum with my mum (actually to celebrate her
60th birthday) recently.
In the main staircase specially built bridge helps visitors to admire his paintings on the wall.


In 1890, a year before the formal opening of the museum Klimt, his younger and
a friend were comissioned to paint a series of pictures depicting important
periods of European art.

Hurry up as the bridge is not there for ever. The works are 12 metres above
the Entrance Hall - this is the only way to look at them properly.
(on until 06.05.12) 

The view down from the bridge. Kunst Historischen Museum, Vienna.
