• History of the Leopold Museum in Vienna

    The Leopold Museum in Vienna displays hundreds of masterpieces of Austrian modern art collected by Rudolf Leopold, a passionate art expert.

    The Leopold Museum is a true treasure trove of Art Nouveau, the Vienna Secession, and Expressionism.
    The most visited museum in the MuseumsQuartier, the city’s trendiest cultural square, houses the largest and most important Egon Schiele collection in the world.

    The core of the collection represents Austrian art of the first half of the 20th century. It includes important paintings and drawings by Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt that show the gradual transformation of the Vienna Secession into Expressionism in Austria.
