GUSTAV KLIMT: THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE IN DORTMUND

Step inside the golden universe of Gustav Klimt at Phoenix des Lumières. This immersive experience brings his iconic works to life through monumental projections, music, and architecture in the heart of Dortmund.

The experience

KLIMT'S GOLDEN UNIVERSE A DAZZLING IMMERSIVE JOURNEY INTO KLIMT'S GOLDEN UNIVERSE

Step into the heart of Gustav Klimt’s iconic works. The walls, floors, and ceilings are transformed into a living canvas where the Viennese master’s paintings unfold in motion, light, and sound. From The Kiss to Adele Bloch-Bauer, his radiant compositions are reimagined on a monumental scale.

ART, HISTORY, AND SYMBOLISM AN EXPLORATION OF ART, HISTORY, AND SYMBOLISM

This immersive exhibition takes you on a journey through the milestones of Klimt’s artistic evolution: the classical grandeur of the 19th century, the birth of the Vienna Secession, and the richly gilded masterpieces of his Golden Phase. Each sequence invites you to experience the depth of his style, from allegories and portraits to his bold vision of nature and femininity.

MUSIC AND ARCHITECTURE AN EXPERIENCE ENHANCED BY MUSIC AND ARCHITECTURE

The show is specially designed to complement the architectural beauty of Phoenix des Lumières, blending Klimt’s art with the space’s soaring columns and ornate details. A bespoke soundtrack accompanies every moment, adding emotional resonance to the visual spectacle and transforming your visit into a poetic, multi-sensory experience.
