The LEOPOLD COLLECTION
Masterpieces of the Viennese Secessionist Movement, the Viennese Modernist Movement and the Austrian Expressionist Movement
The LEOPOLD COLLECTION is one of the most important collections of modern Austrian art in the world. The more than 5,000 exhibits collected by Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold over five decades were consolidated in 1994 with the assistance of the Republic of Austria and the National Bank of Austria into the LEOPOLD MUSEUM PRIVATE FOUNDATION.
