This truly immersive exhibition, which has captivated audiences in cities like London, Dublin, and Los Angeles, brings the iconic Austrian artist’s masterpieces to life through cutting-edge 360° projections, virtual reality, and interactive installations.
A Journey Through Klimt’s Golden Universe
Gustav Klimt, the father of Viennese Art Nouveau, is celebrated for his decorative, sensual, and symbolic works, from The Kiss to Judith I and Farm Garden with Sunflowers.
Born 163 years ago, his art remains strikingly modern, adorning everything from fashion to tattoos and inspiring Gen Z TikTokers as much as Vienna’s Belvedere Museum visitors.
This immersive exhibition, brought to Budapest by the team behind successful Van Gogh and Monet productions, transforms the 2,000-square-meter BOK Sports Hall into a digital wonderland where Klimt’s paintings come alive.
Immersive Exhibition Highlights
Highlights include two gigantic installations of The Kiss, revealing every intricate layer of the iconic painting, and the Golden Tunnel, a shimmering walkway perfect for Instagram-worthy photos.
A VR experience transports you to Klimt’s Vienna, offering a 10-minute journey through his inspirations, while interactive art stations let you create your own Klimt-inspired digital masterpieces, a hit with both kids and adults.
Beyond the spectacle, the exhibition educates with displays chronicling Klimt’s life, his muses, and his role in founding the Vienna Secession movement, which revolutionized European art.
Whether you’re an art aficionado or a curious newcomer, this experience makes his amazing legacy accessible and engaging. So go on, step into the golden, mesmerizing world of Gustav Klimt!
