Itinerary
Leopold Museum is the best place in Vienna to see the most scandalous works of arts ever created in Vienna and understand the principle of the nowness of art. Leopold Museum features a permanent exhibition of Egon Schiele’s works aside from temporary expositions, and it is considered that Shiele’s exhibitionist works are still capable of inciting dubious reactions since many themes he covered in his pieces, such as the line between pornography and art, still cause heated discussions nowadays.
The Leopold Museum is situated in the middle of the MuseumsQuartier.

Very engaging tour that brought the artwork and artists to life. We really loved visiting the museum with our guide
Dear Kelsey, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you as a dedicated art lover on this tour. I wish you many more great art discoveries in Vienna's museums.
When you come from a country like New Zealand it is wonderful to experience art like these works in reality. I liked that there was freedom to visit and take time to reflect on works that I wanted to see. I was not rushed in any way.
Thank you very much for this review. I am very happy that you could enjoy great art and feel comfortable during your tour.
I am Viennese myself and I know works of Schiele and Klimt and I saw them so many times but as our friends came to Vienna for a visit we decided to book a guided tour and this tour was a wonderful choice. It was a very interesting mix of pieces of information from history, medicine, art therapy... We liked it very much and I got a very new feeling for great art and I absolutely recommend our knowledgeable and passionate guide.
