Caf MuseumThe Caf Museum was ameeting point for the bignames from the turn of thecentury (Gustav Klimt, EgonSchiele, Oskar Kokoschka,Otto Wagner, etc.), having

opened in 1899 close to the Naschmarkt and the Secession. The original very modest and down-to-earthcreation by Adolf Loos, who subsequently became aregular, was in stark contrast with the historical opulenceof the time and earned the venue its nickname CafNihilismus (Cafe Nihilism). The interior decoration wasreplaced in 1931 by Josef Zotti, one of the mostsuccessful pupils of Josef Homann and sadly almostforgotten today. After closing and modication work, thecafe was renovated in Zottis style and reopened in 2010


in its new original splendor.
