What you'll see
A white cube of a building topped by a dome of gilded laurel leaves, with changing modern art shows and, in the basement, Klimt's long Beethoven Frieze.
A brief history
It was built in 1898 by young artists, Klimt among them, who broke away from the official academy; the motto over the door says each age deserves its own art.
