Leopold Museum

In the location's words:

The Leopold Museum in Vienna's MuseumsQuartier is the most important address for Austrian art of the 20th century and one of the most visited exhibition venues in the country. The collection, which the doctor and art collector Rudolf Leopold amassed over decades, is simply unique.

Egon Schiele takes center stage. The Leopold Museum houses the world's largest Schiele collection, with paintings and drawings that show the Expressionist in all his diversity. If you want to understand Schiele, this is the place to go. There are also important works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl and many other representatives of Viennese Modernism.

The building itself, a striking white cube in the middle of the MuseumsQuartier, is a calm antithesis to the lively atmosphere of the MQ forecourt. Inside, it is bright, clear and focused on the art. No distractions, just the works.

In addition to the permanent collection, the Leopold Museum regularly presents special exhibitions that place Austrian art history in a broader international context. The museum is also known for its late-night openings, where art, music and a relaxed evening program come together.

In the middle of the MuseumsQuartier, right next to the U2 underground line, Museumsquartier stop, making it one of the most easily accessible cultural institutions in the city.
