This is a really tremendous modern art museum in the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. I can't compare it the other modern art museums, because I didn't have time to visit them... instead I relied on tripadvisor reviews, and they didn't steer me wrong. Great collection of Egon Schiele and some Klimt too. Beautiful galleries, very well displayed pieces. Good special exhibits.... More

The outside of the building is somewhat cold and forbidding, compared to the other galleries visited and the welcome on the inside continues to be somewhat cold. My greatest complaint would be the lack of seating for those of us who are not as young as we used to be. This in total contrast to the Kunsthistorisches where there are... More

we visited this art museum after we read it had a lot of Egon Schiele art. It also has paintings, furniture and other art works from the period around 1890 to 1920 ie the Secession period including Klimpt,. We enjoyed the way things were laid . Each room had a particular focus and very good explanations of the context of... More

This is probably my favorite Vienna museum. The focus is on a rather narrow period and features paintings by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and other Secessionist and Expressionist painters, as well as furniture and other items from the Wiener Werkstätte. There is a very pleasant cafe for lunch, or for a hot or cold drink.

The "Vienna 1900" presentation of art, furniture, ornaments etc is quite remarkable, and well worth the visit, but what makes the glory of this museum is its extraordinary collection of works by Egon Schiele - portraits, self-portraits, landscapes and still lives, quite unforgettable.

I went there with my two daughters. We are used to go to museums and yet, this was exceptional: the variety, the combination, mixture from classic art to (post)modern works while using both trivial and novelty and creativity ways of display - all were combined into a tantalizing experience. way to go!

I would recommend this museum strongly. Lots if interesting exhibits, but for me the highlight of the museum is the permanent collection with the unparalleled Schiele collection, an artist not found in a lot of American collections.

The Leopold Museum was the biggest (positive!) surprise of our trip - first we only planned to see the MUMOK (Museum Of Modern Art) but since the Art Austria (Exhibition of Austrian artists where you could buy the works) took place in the Leopold, we decided to go there as well. And we did not regret it! This museum owns... More
