Good museum with lots of Klimt work. The postcards between him & a lonelier friend are particularly interesting. Costs about £11 to get in. More

We enjoyed the Klimt and Schiele exhibits, and the museum quarter is a must see in Vienna. More

A small collection, targeted to the works of Klimt (but not housing many of his major works) and Schiele. The most interesting aspect for me was the illumination of Klimt's life and influences - period objects of the kind which were reflected in his works, like Asian fabrics, were a novel way of both plumping up the display and shedding...

The Leopold Museum is located in the MuseumsQuartier. This museum contains the art collection of Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold. I enjoyed seeing three of Gustav Klimt’s paintings there, which were the Italian Garden, Personage Garden, and Apple Tree. His Death and Life was very good too. I did not enjoy too much the work of Egon Schiele. I enjoyed Theodor... More

The museum, found in the Museum Quarter (price 12 euro, but we bought tickets from our hotel for 9 euro) has 5 floors. This week, the bottom floor is hosting a sale of Austrian art work (price range 1000-150 000 euro!) -- it was cool to see what things are actually worth and to see some local art. The -1... More

We went there on a hot afternoon and almost turned back before we got there - we didn't know much about it and didn't know what to expect. We found it exceptionally good, with many worthwhile exhibits, including jewellery, works by Klimt and Schiele and many other Austrian artists of whom I had never heard before and was captivated by...

This Museum was interesting, but sadly the exhibition was not to my taste! It would be wise to check out the exhibition on-line before you visit. The layout, convenience and assistance offered was very good and it was very good value for money. It is situated in a very pretty area and you can break your visit and gain re-entry... More

This gallery was wonderful. The layout was very accessible and at the entrances to the rooms it had leaflets for amateurs like me, with particular works of art to look out for and their significance. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. More

Great architectural building that houses Austrian art. Very interesting Klimt exhibition on one floor & the most extensive collection of Egon Schieles work. Beautiful panoramic windows on the higher floors that highlight other important architectural buildings near by. More

The Wien 1900 exhibit is very interesting and a must see for any Art Nouveau/Jugendstil/Secession fan. A large collection of amazing Schiele paintings and drawings, but it would have been so much better if they hadn't decided to "water down" Schiele with some disgusting "modern art". More
