Madness, modernity and those 'nervous times': Vienna in 1900

Journey to Vienna at the turn of the 20th century and discover the 'city of the psyche' at the centre of Modernism.

From utopian visions of the asylum to the birth of the 'psychological portrait' and 'nerve art', the life of the mind lies at the heart of the story. Image gallery
