The Austrian newspaper Der Standard reports on the idea of Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi to convert the golden dome that crowns the Vienna’s Secession into a five-star hotel room. The museum has already started constructing this temporary guestroom, and expects to welcome its first guest later this summer. The project “HIER ENTSTEHT EIN HOTEL” is part of the Secession’s summer outdoor program, which also includes an ‘Art mosque’ (Kunstmoschee by Azra AkÅ¡amija) and a sausage stand (Die Wursthaberer by Patrick Baumüller and Severin Hofmann). The combination of meat and Islam will definitely help visitors who have booked the hotel room to get a good night’s sleep.
