Ruf des Progressiven

Jugendstil (aka Art Nouveau) ‒ a movement that emerged in the late 19th century and continues to fascinate us today ‒ made history in Wiesbaden and largely shaped the cityscape. Through the gift a one-of-a-kind collection from Ferdinand Wolfgang Neess, the Museum Wiesbaden is now able to present a brilliant cross-section of all the fin de siècle genres between Art Nouveau and Symbolism. This volume introduces a number of highlights, explaining why the collection has found its rightful place in Wiesbaden: Art Nouveau now!
