| Dear Vienna Fan, |
| Viennese Modernism was one of the most important periods in the history of art and culture. Four of its protagonists died in 1918: Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Otto Wagner and Koloman Moser. 100 years later, the Austrian capital is celebrating their legacy as well as that of other key figures of the age including Freud, Mahler, Schoenberg, Wittgenstein and Zuckerkandl â as well as the major achievements that came out of fin-de-siècle Vienna. Celebrate with us! Vienna â Now. Forever Your Vienna Tourist Board-Team
