Klimt
Villa
From
1911
until
his
death
in
1918,
Gustav
Klimt
used
a
villa
in
Vienna's
13th
district
as
his
studio.
This
was
revitalised
and
made
accessible
to
the
public
again.
Klimt
used
the
garden
house,
originally
built
without
a
first
floor,
as
a
studio
or
workshop
during
his
last
creative
period.
On
the
ground
floor,
the
studio
is
faithfully
recreated
on
the
basis
of
contemporary
descriptions
and
illustrations.
The
aim
is
to
make
the
living
and
working
situation
tangible
in
terms
of
atmosphere
and
content.
This
will
be
done
by
reconstructing
the
furnishings
of
the
"reception
room"
and
the
"studio"
on
the
basis
of
photos
by
Moritz
Nähr
and
existing
original
samples
of
objects
(e.g.
carpet).
In
the
other
rooms
of
the
studio,
information
is
provided
about
models
and
"clients"
who
were
important
for
Klimt's
works
of
this
creative
period.
The
6,000
m²
garden
is
an
oasis
of
peace,
and
the
architecture
of
the
house
is
particularly
exciting:
for
in
the
1920s
the
original
studio
was
"built
over"
with
a
picturesque
villa.
Klimt's
studio
has
thus
been
preserved
inside.
