The exhibition house of the Vienna Secession, the movement of artists who broke with the conservative Künstlerhaus in 1897; Gustav Klimt was its first president. Joseph Maria Olbrich's building was completed in 1898, crowned with a golden dome of laurel leaves that Viennese affectionately call 'the cabbage'. Its treasure is Klimt's 34-metre Beethoven Frieze in a dedicated hall; admission is free on the first Wednesday of each month.
