Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien at the Ateneum

The exhibition Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien explores how Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s art developed in interaction with international modernists, such as Gustav Klimt and Koloman Moser. The Vienna Secession movement, which was founded under the direction of Klimt and which set out to reform art, was united by an interest in developing new artistic identities, promoting a modern way of life, and creating large public works of art. The exhibition brings Gustav Klimt’s paintings to Finland for the first time. In addition to visual art, the exhibition features photography and design, including everyday objects, jewellery and fashion.

We will have an exhibition intro. An expert guide will introduce us to the themes and main artworks in the Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien exhibition, with the help of a rich visual presentation, in the Ateneum Hall. After this we are free to explore the exhibition at our own pace. The intro lasts half an hour. 

Please note that several groups attend the exhibition intro.

Entry price : €22 or free with Museum Card. The Club sponsors the introduction to the exhibition.
