Gustav Klimt Centre (Klimt-Zentrum am Attersee)

The Gustav Klimt Centre, located in Schörfling, offers a focused exploration of the artist’s connection to the Salzkammergut region. Established in 2012, the center serves as a cultural hub that preserves the legacy of Gustav Klimt, who spent his summers in the area between 1900 and 1916. The current exhibition, titled "Poetry of Landscape: Klimt and Teschner," runs from May to October and features works by Richard Teschner, alongside contemporary pieces by local artists. This unique presentation highlights the artistic dialogue between Klimt’s landscape studies and the local artistic community.

Visitors can explore the center’s rotating exhibitions, which often include rare works such as drawings by Klimt himself. The center is open from late May to late October, with operating hours typically running from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, or 6:00 PM on weekends. Entry is affordable, with a standard ticket price of €7.00, and free guided tours are available on Sundays.

Beyond the indoor exhibition, the center is part of a broader cultural network that includes a theme trail connecting Schörfling, Kammer, and Seewalchen. This trail allows visitors to explore the specific locations that inspired Klimt’s work, such as the Villa Paulick. The center’s program complements the natural beauty of the region, offering a deeper understanding of the artistic heritage that defines the Salzkammergut area.
