Atlas Obscura

Musical Traditions and Contemporary Art

The founder of WAN (Nadja von Buseck) created for Atlas Obscura a trip to the Austrian capital.

Overview trip: Vienna has always been a center for the arts—home to several of Mozart's first operas, Klimt's home studio, and some of the world's leading musical ensembles. On this trip, we've dedicated our attention to the city's rich artistic culture, from its historic coffee houses, host to centuries of creative gatherings, to its finest museums and musical venues. But we're also giving you an inside look, behind the scenes of the Vienna State Opera, and introducing you to new ways of interpreting world-renowned masterpieces.
