BOOK ACTIVITY

Leopold Museum, Vienna

1 Museumsplatz, Wien, Wien

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.

Meta review

Online reviews describe the collections as being good, though not amazing by international standards (expectations tend to be high with museums in Vienna), with works by Klimt (Death and Life is a clear favourite) and Egon Schiele being frequently mentioned. In addition, the artwork is well curated in a bright and quiet building. The furniture exhibits are noted but generally in a neutral fashion, as a secondary observation.

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.
