As part of the new museum quarter the Leopold museum offers the largest Schiele collection in the world and in addition the leading works of Klimt, Kokoschka, Gerstl, Boeckl and Kubin among others.
The Sammlung Leopold.
The Leopold Museum was established in 2001 on the basis of the former private art collection of Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold. In the meantime it has become the most-visited museum in the Vienna MuseumsQuartier.
The Leopold Museum houses the world’s largest Egon Schiele collection and thus offers a unique overview of the work of this great painter and most significant graphic artist of Austrian Expressionism. The vanguard of modernist painting in Austria is also represented by an extensive selection of works by Gustav Klimt, the most extraordinary artistic personality of the Secession. Additionally, paintings, graphics and objects of the 19th and 20th centuries, including precious handicrafts and original art nouveau and Wiener Werkstätte furniture, are on view at the Leopold Museum.
An exciting program of special exhibitions is also presented by the Leopold Museum, which actively circulates works on loan in exchanges with the world’s most important museums and collections. Thus the selection of artworks on view at the museum is subject to short-term variation.

Best Museum in Vienna! Klimt and Schiele pure
Extremely nice home with a madness-like atmosphere. On the top floor there is in the exhibition "Vienna 1900" a great picture window! Leopold Café offers good music and cool ambience.
