Leopold Museum

The Leopold Museum is home to the collection founded by Rudolf Leopold, which today comprises more than 8.3000 objects of Austrian art from the second half of the 19^th century and Modernism. No other museum affords such a direct and comprehensive experience of the concept of art and the intellectual world of Vienna around 1900, and allows visitors to retrace the art-historical developments from Atmospheric Impressionism via Jugendstil to Expressionism. The museum’s highlight is the Vienna 1900 exhibition, which showcases the world’s largest collection of works by the Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, masterpieces by Gustav Klimt, the internationally most extensive permanent presentation on Oskar Kokoschka, further works of Viennese Modernism as well as artisan craftwork from the Wiener Werkstätte.
