Leopold Museum has one of the largest Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele collections worldwide. This temporary exhibition "Clouds" shows photos, paintings, videos, installations about this theme from 1800 until present days. Well structured chronological and thematically, containing works by the classics Constable, Turner, Monet, Sisley, Klimt, Nolde, but also by contemporary artists like Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer, Olafur...

I went on the Klimt trail and to see Kokoschka, so was satisified there, but loved the exhibition they have going on clouds. It's an entire flaw of art through the ages, an impressive collection of album covers, and fun Warhol recreation and I would recommend it, nay - urge you to go!

Make sure you pay extra and get the audio guide even if you think you know a lot about contemporary art and Schiele. The museum itself is a beautiful, spare but elegant house if art. The person narrating on the audio guide was clear and interesting. We had earplugs from our "Hop on Hop Off" bus tours so we used... More

This is a really tremendous modern art museum in the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. I can't compare it the other modern art museums, because I didn't have time to visit them... instead I relied on tripadvisor reviews, and they didn't steer me wrong. Great collection of Egon Schiele and some Klimt too. Beautiful galleries, very well displayed pieces. Good special exhibits.... More

The outside of the building is somewhat cold and forbidding, compared to the other galleries visited and the welcome on the inside continues to be somewhat cold. My greatest complaint would be the lack of seating for those of us who are not as young as we used to be. This in total contrast to the Kunsthistorisches where there are... More

we visited this art museum after we read it had a lot of Egon Schiele art. It also has paintings, furniture and other art works from the period around 1890 to 1920 ie the Secession period including Klimpt,. We enjoyed the way things were laid . Each room had a particular focus and very good explanations of the context of... More

This is probably my favorite Vienna museum. The focus is on a rather narrow period and features paintings by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and other Secessionist and Expressionist painters, as well as furniture and other items from the Wiener Werkstätte. There is a very pleasant cafe for lunch, or for a hot or cold drink.
