This exhibition is the first comprehensive presentation of Ukrainian art from the first half of the twentieth century to be shown outside Ukraine. It relates this tempestuous chapter of Ukrainian cultural history and tells of how modern artists tried to reinforce Ukrainian sovereignty and independence and establish a recognizable national style. The Belvedere is placing a focus on art from around 1900 to highlight connections to the development of Jugendstil.

As part of its 50th anniversary activities, the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society (CRMS) is organising a meeting under the title "Mackintosh Symposium: Heritage Under Threat". To be held on 6 and 7 June 2024 in Glasgow, the event will be devoted to experiences and challenges in the protection and enhancement of Art Nouveau and modern heritage, in Glasgow and beyond.

The first day will be centred on Mackintosh's architecture, with talks on specific buildings. These will include the CRMS director Stuart Robertson on the Queen's Cross Church; Mandy Fallens on the Scotland Street School; Stuart Brown on the Willow; Liz Davidson on The Hill House and Eleanor Magennis on the Glasgow School of Art. More general appraisals will be contributed by Joseph Sharples from The Hunterian and the Glasgow Museums' Collections curator Alison Brown. Updates on the University of Glasgow's 2014 Mackintosh Architecture project by Joseph Sharples and the CRMS's 2016 Mackintosh Survey by Brian Park and John Sanders will complete the day.

Day two of the Symposium will broaden perspectives on the challenges of heritage preservation, with presentations by Catherine Croft of the 20th Century Society; Elizabeth Hopkirk on the preservation of the Greater Manchester heritage; Simon Thielen on Brussels' Art Nouveau architecture and Graeme DeBrincat with an engineer's perspective on the refurbishment of early 20th century buildings.

Can Tinturé Museum

New exhibition at the Can Tinturé Museum exploring Lluís Domènech i Montaner's architecture approached as a scenario.

Based on four of his masterpieces, we will learn how he fashioned venues which became scenarios where the story takes precedence over the decoration.

Free admission

The the aim of this exhibition is to understand Horta's expression and vocabulary without any preconceived ideas...To understand Horta from the inside by going off the beaten track.

The competition was born as a permanent forum for the two main pillars of Ferdinand Wolfgang Neess' life: his Art Nouveau collection and his musical life as a flautist. The competition reflects this duality, bridging the gap between Art Nouveau and the music of the period.

It is organised by Prof. Cordula Hacke, managing director and board member of the organising institution, together with the Wiesbaden Academy of Music, the City of Wiesbaden, and the support of Danielle Neess, the patron's widow.

The exhibition shows the multifaceted nature of the Art Nouveau period and the further development of international Arts and Crafts up to the 1930s with a focus on Art Deco and Bauhaus.

The exhibition is devoted to the life and work of Susanne Homann (1866-1923), an exciting and versatile woman. She photographed the cosmopolitan spa Bad Nauheim from the Belle Époque. On display are numerous photographs that Homann took over the course of her career in very different areas.

Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) is a major figure in the history of German Expressionism, yet despite her importance to art history, Modersohn-Becker's work has never before been the subject of a museum retrospective in the United States. While her paintings and drawings have appeared in group shows at museums and galleries, and there is even a Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in her hometown of Bremen.

The exhibition presented at Amatller Art Centre is an immersive and interactive experience that forms part of the activities organised for the Joaquín Sorolla Year (2023-2024) to pay tribute to this creative genius who captivated local and international society at the time.

The installation is divided into 7 halls. It allows visitors to approach the great Valencian artist through emotions and profound stories. Throughout the exhibition, visitors can get to know the Valencia of his time, understand the family context that formed his personality, identify the artistic environment that made him grow up and made him stand out as a creator. Visitors are also able to experience the excitement of looking at original paintings, immerse themselves in a magical atmosphere when his paintings come to life in the immersive room, or literally enter his works thanks to virtual reality.

The exhibition features not only her major works but also paintings from her closest mentors and colleagues, illustrating the mutual influences between them and her evolution from Impressionism to the New Objectivity of the 1920s. Koller-Pinell was one of the few women artists with a leading presence in Viennese Modernism.

The show will include approximately 200 pieces of jewelry and objects collected by Chicagoans, many never displayed before in public. Exhibition highlights include a 19th century jeweled monstrance, three magnificent tiaras, jewelry renderings by René Lalique and by Anne Howe Geyer for Mauboisson, a large collection of medals of the French kings, the Cliff Dweller's Club famous punch bowl by Robert Jarvie, and much more.

This is the most comprehensive exhibition of Mucha's work ever seen in Australia, and the first touring exhibition to show some of the finest treasures of the Mucha Family Collection one last time in museums around the world. Following this tour, these artworks will find their long-term home alongside the Slavic Epic in the new space in the centre of Prague, which will open in 2028.

Realised in close cooperation with the Mucha Foundation, Prague, "Alphonse Mucha: Spirit of Art Nouveau" brings together Mucha's illustrations, jewellery, interior decoration, photographs and more, the exhibition reveals an artist and designer whose powerful influence remains with us today. Within this sweeping show, visitors will encounter an immersive digital experience of Mucha's late great painting cycle, the Slav Epic, in a journey that helps uncover the artist behind the famous images

The installation is accompanied by a full-colour catalogue, richly illustrated with over 200 images.

This exhibition is the last opportunity to see the seven large-format paintings of elf-like winged creatures that Friedrich Wilhelm Kleukens painted more than 100 years ago for the waiting room of Bathhouse 2 in the Sprudelhof in Bad Nauheim.
At the end of the exhibition, the elves will return to their original location and will only be on display during a visit to the sauna, as the waiting room of Bathhouse 2 will then be converted into a relaxation room.

Is Art Nouveau a style? Or could it be better described as a state of mind and an insatiable faith in modernity? Maison Hannon presents "Belgian Art Nouveau: Van de Velde, Serrurier-Bovy, Hankar & Co", an exhibition devoted to the Belgian Art Nouveau movement in all its diversity. With a wide range of pieces from public and private collections, many of which have never been seen before.

The exhibition presents a journey that traces the painter's growing interest in floral elements. Through Anglada-Camarasa's oils, drawings, photographs, prints and clothing, we can see how flowers became an important element in his paintings and how they shaped his life.
