Fekete and teammates probed the consequences of visiting museums.

For this, we used a mixed design to compare people who viewed Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze painting in the Secession Museum (Vienna, Austria) either on its own . . . or while listening to its musical inspiration . . . excerpts of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
