| Description: This tour offers an overview of the Art Nouveau, the style that flourished across Europe from the 1880s until the eve of World War One. It was a universal style intended to unify the fine and applied arts to create a Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"). The tour describes the style in European countries and the United States, presents characteristic examples of works of architecture, fine arts, and various genres of decorative arts, and provides a comprehensive list of all significant artists and craftsmen working in the Art Nouveau style.
