Art and architecture are also Viennese trademarks, and with 90 museums, many devoted to art, the city is awash in great works. Art Nouveau (known locally as "Jungendstill", or Young Style) took hold here, born of the Vienna Secession which straddled the turn of the 20th century.
艺术和建筑也是维也纳的标志。城市里共有90家博物馆，大多数都具有艺术特性，这让维也纳沉浸在伟大的作品中。新艺术(在当地叫做“Jungendstil”，或年轻风格)在这里得到融会贯通，还形成了跨越20世纪之初的维也纳分离派。
