Enter a world of luminous gold, intimate portraits, and provocative ideas. Gustav Klimt: Gold, Flesh and Scandal is an immersive virtual exhibition exploring the many sides of Klimt’s art — from richly patterned figures and tranquil landscapes to controversial allegories and paintings left unfinished. Move through the exhibition, approach the works closely, and discover the details that give his imagery its lasting fascination.

Explore five thematic sections — Portraits, Landscapes, Golden Period, Faculty Paintings, and Unfinished Works — each offering a different perspective on Klimt’s artistic world. Together, they reveal the connections between ornament and the human body, beauty and unease, intimacy and spectacle.

Beyond the paintings, smaller sections dedicated to biography, photographs, and preparatory sketches bring you closer to the artist and his creative process. Discover the person behind the celebrated images and see how ideas began to take shape through studies of pose, gesture, and composition.

Set in a virtual space with windmills and a beautiful blue sky, the exhibition offers a welcoming setting for both quiet looking and shared discovery. Explore at your own pace or choose an automated guided tour with exhibition texts read aloud. Visit independently, meet friends inside, or experience the art together as a class or group.

Accessible in VR, on desktop, and on mobile, this exhibition welcomes both those discovering Klimt for the first time and those ready to look more closely.

Step inside Gustav Klimt: Gold, Flesh and Scandal and discover the art, the artist, and the tensions beneath the gold.
