darkness, empty pleasure-seeking and search for meaning Klimt heard in
the early movements of the symphony:

And this panel shows the final "Ode to Joy" movement:

bluenoses on flickr or Facebook).
August Rodin came to the exhibit. And another French visitor found
things to his taste.

Here is a Holocaust memorial in the Servitengasse neighborhood. It pairs
old-fashioned house keys with the names of the "vanished neighbors."
