Leopoldmuseum
With around 6.000 works, the Leopold museum houses one of the world´s most important collections of Austrian art from the second half of the 19th century and modern art. The married couple Rudolf (1925 – 2010) and Elisabeth Leopold (born 1926) started this collection within five decades. Their passion for collecting did not stop at artists who were frowned upon until the 1960s – with more than 220 works, the world´s most extensive collection of objects by Egon Schiele was established. In addition, work complexes by Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, as well as Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and Emil Schindler are among the collection. In the sense of a holistic concept of art, Rudolf Leopold also collected furniture and applied arts of the Art Nouveau and the Wiener Werkstätte, including objects by Josef Hoffmann or Koloman Moser.
