Leopold Museum

The Leopold Collection is one of the most important collections of modern Austrian art in the world. The more than 5,000 masterpieces collected by Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold over five decades were consolidated by Rudolf Leopold in 1994 with the assistance of the Republic of Austria and the National Bank of Austria into the Leopold Museum Private Foundation.

The Leopold Museum in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier (MQ) contains the largest Egon Schiele collection in the world, together with major works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl and Albin Egger-Lienz. The museum shows paintings and prints by Herbert Boeckl, Hans Böhler, Anton Faistauer, Anton Kolig, Alfred Kubin, and Wilhelm Thöny. In addition, it features outstanding works from the 19th century by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Friedrich Gauermann, August von Pettenkofen, Anton Romako, Emil Jakob Schindler, and Carl Schuch, among others.

The core of the collection consists of the most important compilation of works by Egon Schiele in the world. In addition, Austria’s Classical Modernism movement is represented by major works by Gustav Klimt, Albin Egger-Lienz, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl, and Alfred Kubin among others.
