October 19, 2022


Beach season may be over in Central Europe, but there's still plenty to do to make a trip worthwhile. All over the continent, the colder months are marked by numerous great events. In addition to festivals for foodies, such as the Gardica Gourmet Festival in Italy, art lovers also get their money's worth: the usual range of urban attractions is joined by a multifaceted program of events in the fall. Reason enough to hop on a train (or a plane) once more and spend a few inspiring days in one of these cities.

Vienna: Monet's garden

Hard Facts:

What? an immersive exhibition
Where? MARX HALLE, Karl-Farkas-Gasse 19, 1030 Vienna

The successful multimedia exhibition comes to Vienna: "Monet's Garden" presents the life of the perhaps most famous Impressionist in an impressive and equally unconventional way. Claude Monet's paintings gather over three different areas and are brought to life via projections and elaborate installations. Graphics, animations, images and videos are projected onto three-dimensional objects using a 3D mapping projection system. This creates an impressive, immersive exhibition experience. A real must-see for anyone traveling to Vienna in the fall and winter.
