4 Digital Exhibitions and Museum Tours to Enjoy from Home

Do you feel the lack of art exhibitions and museums that you can visit? It’s been too long since we were able to see some cool exhibitions. Some of the museums and galleries are finally open for visitors, but still, it’s not the best idea to go out to the public too much and to be around too many people. The good thing is that we don’t actually have to leave home to enjoy great museums and exhibitions — we can do it from the safety of our homes! But the best thing is that on the Cultural Places platform we are hosting digital exhibitions and museum tours that you can watch on your favorite device.

Vienna United: Viennese Artists against Loneliness

“Vienna United” is our first digital art exhibition, for which our content team handpicked ten Viennese artists to show you how this isolation and this global situation affected their minds, and what revelations they came upon during their creative processes.

Through their exciting artworks, these young artists explain how solitude affects the way they contemplate the body they live in, as well as the world around them. You will see paintings, graphics, performances, and hear music inspired by the self-isolation that this health crisis put us in, and by loneliness in general. We might all be alone at the moment, but we definitely don’t have to feel lonely. We have to feel comfortable with ourselves first, so we might as well take this time of solitude to try to achieve that state of mind.

If you need some ideas on how to fight loneliness and other emotions this crisis brought us, get this tour, you will enjoy it.

Tour Through Vienna Secession Building

Have you ever wondered what’s the story behind the famous Vienna Secession building and its golden Krauthappl (cabbage head)? This exhibition house, located near Karlsplatz, is a place where the Art Nouveau movement in Vienna began. The founders of this wonderful exhibition house literally seceded from the artistic practices and customs of the time and opposed the antiquated styles and practices taught at the art academy at the time. Seeking to unite and erase borders between arts and crafts and to found a new aesthetic, they made this wonderful building to house their artistic dreams, but also physical exhibitions, a printing lab, and workspaces.

In this tour, you will learn a little bit about the history of the Secession movement in Vienna and all of the artists who were important for its founding. Also, you will see some of the amazing artworks that are on display there, including Gustav Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze — one of the masterpieces of European Art Nouveau.
