Belvedere Art Gallery





Belvedere is considered to be the best baroque palaces in the world with its fine buildings, gardens and art galleries. It houses the collection of Gustav Klimt. Sitting along side Van Gough, Degas, Monet and many more. I was keen to see Klimt's work in real life and in particular his "Poppy Fields" painting. It was a much more relaxed Gallery than Victoria's National Gallery. You were allowed to photograph, look very closely and take your bags in with you. A young artists had even covered some of the classic statues with modern art and it looked really effective.
