Secession Building

The Secession Building, or "Sekession," is a historic exhibition hall located in Vienna, Austria, completed in 1897. It was designed by architect Joseph Maria Olbrich as the headquarters for the Viennese Secession movement, which sought to break away from traditional art styles and promote modern art. The building is notable for its distinct Vienna Secession style, characterized by its ornate façade and a golden dome made of laurel leaves. It has hosted numerous art exhibitions and remains an important cultural landmark, symbolizing the innovative spirit of Austrian art at the turn of the 20th century.
