Press Release: Experience the perfect kiss in Vienna

Friday 1st August 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Tate Liverpool’s current exhibition on Gustav Klimt is a great taster but you can’t beat seeing Klimt’s work in its home setting at the elegant Belvedere Palace in Vienna.  We suggest you pay a visit to glittering Vienna from £499 per person for 2 nights.

The “Gustav Klimt and the Kunstschau 1908” exhibition takes place from the 1st October to the 18th January 2009 and celebrates Klimt and his contemporaries from the Viennese art scene. With Klimt’s work taking centre stage this is your opportunity to get up close and personal with The Kiss.

Pay a visit to the Vienna Secession gallery where Klimt and his friends pioneered the Art Nouveau movement, and Klimt’s stunning Beethoven frieze still decorates the basement of the building.

Alternatively enjoy a night out at Vienna’s resplendent National Theatre where you can see yet more of Klimt’s genius in the striking ceiling paintings in the theatre’s stairwells.

Stay at the 4* Sofitel Vienna Hotel  where you can sleep in Klimt inspired art nouveau bedrooms as well -  from £499 per person, including breakfast and return train travel.
