The Fabergé Museum presents the International Academic Conference "Jewellery Art of the 19th and Early 20th Centuries" to be held from 20 to 22 September 2018.

The travelling exhibition "Modernisme and Flowers. From Nature to Architecture" focuses on how the decorative arts of Modernisme represented plants and flowers when used in construction. An exhibition is for the first time establishing a dialogue between the world of plants and Modernista architecture. The exhibition discourse has been divided into four areas. The first explains the creative process of artists when "capturing" the images of flowers. The second involves a journey through eight applied arts fields in architecture and their respective creation processes: ceramics, mosaics, ironwork, stonework, stucco, hydraulic mosaics, stained glass and plasterwork. The third offers an exhibition tour of flowers and plants that recreate a huge timeless garden. The exhibition concludes by looking at the difficulty of preserving the applied arts in construction.

The exhibition curators are Fatima López and Marta Saliné, both PhDs in Art History and members of the GRACMON research group at the University of Barcelona.

This exhibition explores Otto Wagner's impact as the "father of modernism." The show demonstrates the context and the interactions between Wagner and other protagonists of early modernism as well as Wagner's influence on his contemporaries, students, and subsequent generations of architects and designers.

Otto Wagner (1841-1918) is one of the most significant architects of the turn of the twentieth century. His building projects-among them the City Railway (Wiener Stadtbahn), the Postal Savings Bank (Postsparkasse), and the Church at Steinhof-are regarded as milestones on the path from historicism to modernism.

Every summer, Fondation CIVA organises an exhibition with the theme "Unbuilt Brussels" presenting documents from its archives relating to architectural and urban projects that were never brought to fruition. This year, the exhibition is partly dedicated to Victor Horta, focusing mainly on his grand project to rebuild the block between the Palace of Fine Arts and the Central Station, and the Congo Pavilion designed for the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900.

This year's exhibition in Brtnice is dedicated to the relationship between Josef
Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, who died 100 years ago this year, and juxtaposes designs by these two protagonists of the Wiener Werkstätte.

This exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of the death of Gustav Klimt, who also passed away in 1918, honors THE protagonist of Viennese Modernism par excellence, who saw the Secession as a venue for the fight for spiritual and artistic modern art. His highly contested, allegorical Faculty Paintings, which were destroyed during the last days of war in 1945, were seen as a paradigm shift and a credo of a new thematic and formal notion of the fin-de-siècle: spirit and matter, nature and art, as well as Eros and Thanatos constituted the program of his artistic oeuvre. The pictorial works of the avant-gardist Klimt further express a longing for beauty and sensuality. Along with works from the holdings of the Leopold Museum and the Leopold family's private collection, the presentation will feature exhibits from the Klimt Foundation, works given to the museum as a permanent loan by a Klimt descendant as well as select international loans from private and institutional collections. Thus, the exhibition retraces Klimt's artistic evolution from an exponent of late Historicism towards one of the most eminent representatives of Viennese Jugendstil.
