- Leopold Museum - Leopold Museum is the best place in Vienna to see the most scandalous works of arts ever created in Vienna and understand the principle of the nowness of art. Leopold Museum features a permanent exhibition of Egon Schiele’s works aside from temporary expositions, and it is considered that Shiele’s exhibitionist works are still capable of inciting dubious reactions since many themes he covered in his pieces, such as the line between pornography and art, still cause heated discussions nowadays.

The Leopold Collection hosts an impressive variety of emotion-stirring Viennese artworks from the start of the 20th century. Our museum’s art exhibition offers a glimpse of masterpieces by icons such as Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele, and Richard Gerstel that give insight into the era’s intriguing complexities.
Gustav Klimt is a figure of relentless creative exploration, with every phase of his journey captured through the distinctive art within the Leopold Museum. We’ll delve into Klimt’s initial sketches to get a feel for his portrait painting talent. Uncover recently revealed aspects of his life that shed new light on his unmistakable artistic style.
The work of Egon Schiele exemplifies the link between an artist’s imagination and their inner world. It invites the question of whether it’s mere chance that while Sigmund Freud, a Viennese psychotherapist, was formalising theories like ‘repression’, ‘Oedipus complex’, and ‘acting out’, the Viennese artist Schiele was rendering paintings of sightless partners, satirical imitations of notable artwork, and images of deceased mothers.
Whilst Klimt and Schiele are two renowned personalities within the Viennese art domain of the early 1900s, we also examine the effort of their peers Koloman Moser, Max Openheimer, and Bronzia Koller-Pinel, providing a comprehensive view into Vienna’s vibrant intellectual and creative environment during the early 20th century.
In your journey through the Leopold Museum, observe how the artists’ transformation of art’s intent ushered in a fresh era of artistic styles and a redesigned understanding of art itself.
