Leopold Museum
Leopold Museum is the best place in Vienna to see the most scandalous works of arts ever created in Vienna and understand the principle of the nowness of art. Leopold Museum features a permanent exhibition of Egon Schiele’s works aside from temporary expositions, and it is considered that Shiele’s exhibitionist works are still capable of inciting dubious reactions since many themes he covered in his pieces, such as the line between pornography and art, still cause heated discussions nowadays.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and in depth Art history provided by Julia. It was an extremely memorable experience for me. It totally enriched my enjoyment of the amazing Schiele artworks. I felt emotionally uplifted by the interesting talk which was very wide ranging and thought provoking. I really now would like to study to become an Art Historian !!
