In the late 19th century Vienna, artists represented by Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann created numbers of outstanding works as they searched for new forms of art and design. Their innovative challenge is best expressed in the field of graphic design. This exhibition delivers the lively energy and charm of fin-de-siècle Vienna through over 300 graphic works and precious furniture from the same era from the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto.
