Leopold Museum - by Gugerell (CC0)





Description
The Leopold Museum houses a collection of modern Austrian art from the first half of the 20th century across different movements such as the Wiener Secession, the Art Nouveau/Jugendstil and Expressionism. The main artists on display are Egon Schiele, G. Klimt, Richard Gestl and Oskar Kokoschka.
Access & Transport
The museum is located in the Museumsquartier, just south of Maria-Theresien-Platz. Museumsquartier (U2), Volkstheater (U3 and tram 49), Ring/Volkstheater (1, 2, 71, D) and Burgring (1, 2, 71, D) stations are all within a 3 mins' walk.
Instructions & Recommendations
The Mumok is situated just across but is thematically slightly overlapping.
Environmental & Social
No environmental data available about the building. Consumes some electricity (lighting, cooling, heating). Helps spread the arts.
Conclusion
The Leopold Museum offers a good insight into several Austrian modern art movements with some of its main artists well represented through a few major works. Not a priority except for aficionados of modern art but worth seeing by anybody with some spare time in Vienna.
