The Leopold Museum was established in 2001 on the basis of the former private art collection of Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold. In the meantime it has become the most-visited museum in the Vienna MuseumsQuartier.

The Leopold Museum houses the world's largest Egon Schiele collection and thus offers a unique overview of the work of this great painter and most significant graphic artist of Austrian Expressionism. The vanguard of modernist painting in Austria is also represented by an extensive selection of works by Gustav Klimt, the most extraordinary artistic personality of the Secession. Additionally, paintings, graphics and objects of the 19th and 20th centuries, including precious handicrafts and original art nouveau and Wiener Werkstätte furniture, are on view at the Leopold Museum.
