Vienna
 
Vienna is a city of many facets: Trendy clubs, young galleries,modern architecture and stylish boutiques are as much a part of Vienna as the concert halls, large museums, splendid buildings and nostalgic shops.
From a Roman settlement to the world capital of music, Vienna has undergone vast changes throughout the centuries. From the late 18th century on, Vienna‘s culture – particularly its music – was famous throughout Europe. Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Mahler, and Bruckner all lived in the city. Today, what makes Vienna unique is the way the city equally embraces history and modernity, spanning the glorious imperial age to contemporary art and architecture.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), painting genius and pioneer of the Modern era around 1900, would have celebrated his 150th birthday in 2012.
Klimt revolutionized the art of painting. His pictures decorated with gold ornaments are amongst the most expensive in the world today.
Klimt spent most of his life in Vienna. Many of his works, above all his early ones, will be on some of the special exhibitions about Klimt in Vienna’s museums. His best-known painting "The Kiss" can now be seen at the Vienna Belvedere. And this particular Kiss changed the world. The picture and Gustav Klimt stand for the Modern era, an epoch that was trendsetting.
