Secession Vienna opens its doors for free monument tours on Tag des Denkmals
The Secession in Vienna offered free guided tours on 27 September 2026 as part of Austria's Tag des Denkmals, presenting the landmark building as a living monument.

The Vienna Secession participated in Austria's Tag des Denkmals on 27 September 2026 with free guided tours of its landmark building. Framed as the Secession as a living monument, the tours explored the 1898 building by Joseph Maria Olbrich, its Beethoven Frieze by Gustav Klimt and the institution's continuing role as an artist-run exhibition space. The open monument day gave visitors behind-the-scenes access to one of Vienna's most significant art nouveau landmarks and a still-active centre of contemporary art. The event formed part of a nationwide programme of free heritage access.
