The Phoenix des Lumières opened to the public on 28 January 2023 with the exhibitions ‘Gustav Klimt: Gold and Colour’ and ‘Hundertwasser, in the Wake of the Vienna Secession’. Currently, you can experience the unique, modern exhibition of the famous works by revolutionary artists Gustav Klimt and Friedensreich Hundertwasser as well as the unique journey of discovery of the universe in the "Cosmos: An Infinite Journey" exhibition.

Continue walking through the exhibit as you appreciate how the space has been brought back to life. As the paintings from Gustav Klimt's golden phase envelop you, admire the groundbreaking art style of this Vienna Secessionist. Then, gaze in wonder at Hundertwasser's kaleidoscope of moving color. "Cosmos: An Infinite Journey" takes visitors into a labyrinth of stars, planets, moons, and supernovae. A unique journey of discovery begins in the middle of the tropical rainforest at a space center in French Guyana and takes you to the deepest reaches of space, far beyond our own solar system. After launching from Earth, guests will travel alongside rovers and probes across the canyons of Mars, delve into the heart of Jupiter, glide over the rings of Saturn, and find themselves amidst stunning solar flares.
