Leopold Museum
The world's largest Egon Schiele collection — raw, uneasy, and worth every minute.
Coming soon on iOS — be first to walk Vienna offline.
Opened in 2001 from a private haul of over 5,000 works assembled by Elisabeth and Rudolf Leopold over five decades, this is where you trace the full crack-up of Viennese taste — from Klimt's ornamental Jugendstil surface to the nerve-exposed Expressionism of Schiele and Kokoschka. No other single building shows that arc this completely.
What to look for
- Egon Schiele paintings and drawings — the largest collection of his work anywhere in the world
- Gustav Klimt works representing the Wiener Secession and Art Nouveau transition
- Paintings by Oskar Kokoschka and Richard Gerstl marking the shift into Expressionism
