Leopold Museum

Finally. Finally, I get here. To reverently view the artworks of Egon Schiele.

This museum is incredible. It's not overly large, you could view it in a morning, or longer if you linger. Like I did.

They have the largest and most important collection of Schiele art in the world. It is utterly impressive. Just glorious. I loved every second, as I am a superfan of Mr. Schiele.

I also enjoyed the Secessionists exhibit - lots of objects, graphics and photos from that important era of Vienna.

I came here for the Klimt paintings. There was an exhibit of the secession movement art. Very nice museum and not very crowded on a Monday afternoon. Art appreciation is subjective and I did not care for some of the pieces. Overall the Klimt paintings were my favorite. Worth a visit.

I loved this museum. I came for the Klimts, but I really enjoyed the whole thing. First, the location, in the Museum Quarter, is fun. It's a great place to sit and eat.

But you're probably interested in the art- and the art is wonderful. There are so many different artists here- many of them I had never heard of. I enjoyed the Klimts most- but I also enjoyed some of the other artists I'd never heard of. I'm not a fan of Egon Schiele, but it was good to see his work anyway.

We had the museum card which got us in free- we did the 6 day card, so we went just about everywhere in Vienna. I'm glad we went here. It was definitely worth the time.

This museum features Vienna's "Turn of the century art"... I'm not a big art guru and don't know what that means exactly.

Here's what I can say:
-Its weirder art. Sometimes its dark.
-You will see male and female intimate body parts. It will probably be creepy.
-Don't bring your kids, grandmother, or a first date. (see above)
-It is interesting and thought provoking. Or just creep you out.
-Average people will just need about an hour in here, its pretty small.

€13 seems a bit steep for an hour of entertainment, but I don't know anything about running a museum in Austria.
But we got the €18 for a combo ticket with the MUMOK Modern Art Museum, so that makes it worth.

Visit if you dare... :)

Lots of Schiele and Gerstl as well as some Klimt and other famous art here. Austrian art that you need to check out if you have the time. It's a fairly big museum that is spread out nicely with lots of natural lighting too!
Part of the Museumsquartier...buy the ticket that gives you access to multiple museums. You will save some money that way.

World class art in a beautiful setting.

Seriously, its worth coming here just to sit and stare at Gustav Klimts' masterpiece 'Life and Death'.

However, when you consider the architecture of the place is a masterpiece unto itself, you start to take your time walking from room to room, seeing everything from incredibly crafted furniture to stunning murals.

Then after being able to sit down in the museum cafe overlooking gardens, sipping an illy Cappucino, Viennese Beer or a variety of wines - you realize that the Leopold is a destination level museum of art.

A favorite way to spend a morning, afternoon or evening in Vienna.

The Leopold Museum in the Museums Quartier (MQ) of Vienna is a wonderful museum. This museum specializes in Austrian art and indeed contains the largest collection of Egon Schiele and Richard Gerstl paintings in the world. Of course there are numerous Klimts and Kokoschkas as well - you get the drift. There are always interesting special exhibitions on view as well and right now as I write this long overdue review of the Leopold, the special exhibitions are fantastic. The Heidi Horten modern art collection being shown for the first time publicly anywhere in the world is an amazing gathering of modern masters. The Slovenian artist Zoran Music is represented by a heartfelt exhibition and it is so cool that the works of Austrian master painter Anton Romako are being highlighted. And if before, during, or after your visit, you need a little refreshment and wine, the Leopold cafe is one of the best museum cafes in Vienna.

At one time one spoke of the Big Three art museums in Vienna (KHM, Albertina, & Belvedere). The Leopold has def made it a Big Four club!

Excellent small to medium size museum in the museum quarter featuring contemporary art. I was blown away by the Egon Schiller exhibit, an artist I knew very little about. I don't know if this is a permanent exhibit or a special showing of his works. I totally enjoyed this museum. It was well designed and easy to move around in.
All the artwork had ample description placing each piece in historical and stylistic terms. It was a pleasure to visit.

I never realized how fascinating and strangely beautiful Egon Schiele's art is until I came to the Leopold Museum here in Vienna. They have the largest collection of Schiele in the world and it's wonderful. The museum itself is well laid out, open spaces, airy with lots of natural light. Not enough places to sit and take it all in but that's a minor complaint. The cafe is great, with outdoor seating and waiter service unlike American museum cafes which are usually overpriced cafeterias. If I only had time for one museum in Vienna, I highly recommend this one!

Beautiful location at the Museumsquartier, I absolutely love it! The exhibitions which are put up there are always so interesting and relevant to me since I study history of arts :) At one occasion as a part of the European Registrars Conference my group and I got a tour which was very informative and interesting to listen to. The rooms themselves are spacious enough that at no point there were too many visitors in them, which I appreciate because you get the chance to see all the artwork in peace! All in all a great experience.
