Vienna Secession

In this art history course we will examine the city of Vienna around 1900 leading to the first World War, through the work of famous and lesser-known artists in their search for artistic freedoms through the founding of the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte, modelled on the Arts and Crafts movement.

Learn from our world-class experts wherever you are, whenever suits you: watch lectures live or view the recording later in your own time. You can experience the full breadth and depth of the V&A's collections with 12 hours of study over 6 weeks. Learn at your own pace: lecture recordings and study materials, lecture notes, copies of the presentations, and additional study materials are available in our secure Microsoft Teams environment for 6 weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a thing. And finally, join the conversation: share your perspective with your fellow students, and support each other in your further enquiries outside of class time.
