Description

Essentials about the Leopold Museum in brief

The Leopold Museum, which is part of the MuseumsQuartier in the center of Vienna, is one of the world’s most important collections of modern Austrian art and includes a large number of masterpieces of the Viennese Secession, Viennese Modernism and Austrian Expressionism.

The collection of the Leopold Museum

The museum is best known for its Egon Schiele collection, the most extensive and important in the world, and its works by Gustav Klimt. However, the Leopold Museum also houses many other works by well-known Austrian modern artists, including Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl, Kolo Moser, Albin Egger-Lienz, Herbert Boeckl and Anton Kolig.

The Leopold Collection, which comprises well over 5,000 exhibits, was assembled by the collector couple Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold over the course of five decades. In 1994, Rudolf Leopold’s collection was transferred to a non-profit private foundation and made accessible to the public in 2001 in the new Leopold Museum in the MuseumsQuartier.
