Leopold Museum

The museum in the MuseumsQuartier housing the world's largest collection of Egon Schiele paintings, alongside works by Klimt, Kokoschka, and other Austrian modernists. The collection was assembled by Rudolf Leopold over decades. If the Belvedere has The Kiss, the Leopold has everything else Schiele ever painted.

The world’s largest Egon Schiele collection, assembled by ophthalmologist Rudolf Leopold over four decades starting in 1950 when Schiele was largely unknown. The museum holds 41 Schiele paintings and 188 drawings, alongside Klimt and Kokoschka. Several works were the subject of Nazi-looted art claims; the restitution history is part of the institution’s story. Daily; EUR 17; Museumsplatz 1, MuseumsQuartier; U2 Museumsquartier.
