Vienna Study Trip

CL2059 Tales from Europe Central

For centuries, Vienna was the star at the center of Central Europe. By the time the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated in 1918, it had also become a hotbed for the avant-garde. Explore the city’s rich cultural legacy, from Imperial palaces to modernist structures; from Old Masters to the provocative canvases of Schiele and Klimt; from fin-de-siècle cafés to Freud’s workplace. This trip devotes special attention to Vienna’s storied musical heritage, with visits to the homes of great composers and 1-2 concerts at one of the city’s many legendary venues. The professor running this excursion tailors its itinerary around special events and exhibitions particular to the moment of travel. (Past visits have featured conversations with contemporary Austrian and Hungarian writers, a guided tour of the Leopold Museum by its founder, etc.). While this study trip is designed to complement CL2059, it is open and accessible to anyone intent on discovering this beautiful historical capital.
