Otto Wagner (1841-1918) is one of the most significant architects of the turn of the twentieth century. His building projects-among them the City Railway (Wiener Stadtbahn), the Postal Savings Bank (Postsparkasse), and the Church at Steinhof-are regarded as milestones on the path from historicism to modernism.

Every summer, Fondation CIVA organises an exhibition with the theme "Unbuilt Brussels" presenting documents from its archives relating to architectural and urban projects that were never brought to fruition. This year, the exhibition is partly dedicated to Victor Horta, focusing mainly on his grand project to rebuild the block between the Palace of Fine Arts and the Central Station, and the Congo Pavilion designed for the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900.

This year's exhibition in Brtnice is dedicated to the relationship between Josef
Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, who died 100 years ago this year, and juxtaposes designs by these two protagonists of the Wiener Werkstätte.

This exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of the death of Gustav Klimt, who also passed away in 1918, honors THE protagonist of Viennese Modernism par excellence, who saw the Secession as a venue for the fight for spiritual and artistic modern art. His highly contested, allegorical Faculty Paintings, which were destroyed during the last days of war in 1945, were seen as a paradigm shift and a credo of a new thematic and formal notion of the fin-de-siècle: spirit and matter, nature and art, as well as Eros and Thanatos constituted the program of his artistic oeuvre. The pictorial works of the avant-gardist Klimt further express a longing for beauty and sensuality. Along with works from the holdings of the Leopold Museum and the Leopold family's private collection, the presentation will feature exhibits from the Klimt Foundation, works given to the museum as a permanent loan by a Klimt descendant as well as select international loans from private and institutional collections. Thus, the exhibition retraces Klimt's artistic evolution from an exponent of late Historicism towards one of the most eminent representatives of Viennese Jugendstil.

The presentation will include a selection of drawings, photographs, and sketches for objects ranging from windows to baptismal fonts, that reveal something of the creative processa t Tiffany?s firm.

This exhibition provides an intimate view of the innovator who built the artistic empire of Tiffany Studios, a man who found inspiration, for example, in farm scenes, children playing in the surf, and boats on the Hudson River.

105 years after the official inauguration of the Wolfers Frères jewellery store in 1912, visitors will once again be able to admire the shop in its original form. To do this, the Cinquantenaire museum has cleared a room of approximately the same shape and area as that originally foreseen by Victor Horta in the building in rue d?Arenberg in Brussels
