    In 1898, Joseph Maria Olbrich built this exhibition hall to showcase works by the Secessionists, a group of artists who opposed traditional painting styles. A highlight: the Beethoven Frieze by Klimt.

    Beethovenfreis is really beautiful, but definitely not worthy of almost 10€! Best chance you're lucky with the exhibition on display· in that case, it's a pretty good deal!

    Be still my beating hart. This building is just perfect in its design. Do not forget to visit Gustav Klimt's Beethoven Fries!

    Beautiful building, inside and out. Klimt's Beethoven Frieze is amazing, a must see for anyone coming to Vienna.

    Astonishingly beautiful even if it's heavily raining at the moment :). The frieze is one of a kind - one of the architectural pieces you'll never forget!

    Amazing museum. But perhaps only because of the building itself and the Klimt's masterpiece at the basement level.

    In 1897 a number of Viennese artists broke their ties with the conservative Künstlerhaus and formed the new art association "Secession" and the motto, "To the Age, its Art. To Art, its Freedom."

    A beautiful building with an incredible frieze in it and some expensive conceptual art inside, too.

    Yeah, a wee bit over the top for the entrance fee... 3 exhibitions (granted, one is Klimt) for €8.50

    Of all the exhibitions we visited this was the most disappointing. Staff were a bit pretentious and it's a little over prices.

    The Beethoven Frieze was wonderful, a must-see for every Klimt fan, but the other exhibitions - are you kidding me? Place _that_ at one level with Klimt? Better go to Belvedere for him and much more.

    Until the other exhibitions open up, €5.50 is too much to pay for one Klimt display. The outer architecture is more interesting, and is free

    Der Beethoven Fries ist imposant! Für echte Klimt Fans ein muss. Die modernen Ausstellungen trafen nicht so sehr meinen Geschmack. Die Architektur des Gebäudes ist außergewöhnlich!

    Der Bau selbst ist besser als die meisten Ausstellungen im Inneren. Wer in Wien nicht ohnehin schon in den anderen Museen genug Klimt zu sehen bekommt, kann hier noch sein Beethoven-Fries bewundern.

    Luogo magico per chi ama klimt e la Vienna di inizio secolo. Al piano interrato uno splendido ciclo di opere di klimt.

    시간적 여유만 있다면 '베토벤 프리즈' 단 한 작품을위해서라도 '환희의 송가'를 MP3에 넣어 방문하시길 바람. (벽화이므로 여기서 밖에 감상할수없어요. 묶어서 클림트도 자주 들렀다는 '카페 뮤지엄'에서 격이 있는 멜란지도 즐겨보아요

    Esterno molto bello, interno splendido il murales di Klimt.Il problema è pagare9€xun biglietto per vedere anche mostre temporanee che non interessano.Dovrebbero fare biglietto a parte solo per Klimt.

    Ich habe es nur von außen gesehen und mich dann etwas dazu belesen. Scheint eine interessante Geschichte zu haben. Von außen ist es zumindest ansprechend

    Одно из первых зданий венского модерна. На нулевом этаже выставлен бетховенский фриз Климта.

    Acht Jahre lang bestimmten Klimt und seine Mitstreiter das Programm der Secession und zeigten in dieser Zeit 23 Ausstellungen. Auch heute noch sieht man hier das berühmte Beethovenfries. #KlimtTour

    In der Wiener Secession ist Gustav Klimts Beethovenfries zu finden. Im Klimt-Jahr beschäftigen sich zwei zeitgenössische Kunstinstallationen mit dem weltberühmten Werk. Read more
