Leopold Museum

The Leopold Museum is a one-of-a-kind treasure trove of Viennese art nouveau, the Vienna Workshop, and Expressionist art. As the most frequented museum in the city's most attractive cultural district, the MuseumsQuartier, holds the world's most significant and biggest Egon Schiele collection, as well as works by Gustav Klimt, the creator of the Vienna Secession movement. Outstanding objects from the Wiener Werkstätte, ranging from Josef Hoffmann to Koloman Moser, are also on exhibit. On an area of 5,400 m2 across four levels, the light-flooded cube of white shell limestone displays permanent highlights of the collection as well as selected temporary exhibitions.

The Leopold Museum houses 42 paintings, 187 original visuals (drawings and colored sheets), and documents (letters, etc.) by Egon Schiele. The Leopold Museum has several of his major paintings, including "Self-portrait with Physalis" and "Portrait of Wally Neuzil". Rudolf Leopold, the museum's founder, began collecting vast amounts of the exceptional works of the early Expressionist Egon Schiele in the 1950s. Schiele, who died at the age of 28, left behind a substantial body of work, which may be seen up close here.
