Secession Building, Art museum in Innere Stadt, Austria.
The Secession Building features a prominent golden dome composed of 2500 iron laurel leaves above its stark white geometric structure.
Architect Joseph Maria Olbrich completed the Secession Building in 1898 as a dedicated space for progressive artists who separated from conventional art institutions.
The Beethoven Frieze, created by Gustav Klimt, remains permanently displayed in the basement gallery, representing the artistic vision of the Vienna Secession movement.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with audio guides available in multiple languages and limited wheelchair access to exhibitions.
The building houses a colony of bees under its dome, producing honey that visitors can purchase in the museum store.
