Madness & Modernity is an examination of the relationship between mental illness and the visual arts in fin de siècle Vienna. Led by Sigmund Freud, Vienna was at the forefront of psychiatric innovation during this period and the exhibition - combining art, architecture and design alongside therapeutic equipment and pieces by asylum patients - emphasises the specificity of the era in terms of creativity and attitudes towards identity.
Foucault would be proud...
