World Art Nouveau Day
June 10 · Level 4 · #1545 of 2238
World Art Nouveau Day celebrates flowing lines, botanical patterns and buildings full of imaginative details. It draws attention to art and design from around the turn of the twentieth century, encouraging people to notice and preserve this heritage.
How it is celebrated: museums and cultural organisations arrange exhibitions, talks and architectural walks. Visitors explore stained glass, furniture and decorative features that everyday journeys can make easy to overlook.
The date connects two architects: Antoni Gaudí and Ödön Lechner both died on 10 June, though in different years.
