The Leopold Collection includes the most striking and emotional works of Viennese art from the early twentieth century. In this art tour of the museum's collection, we take a look at works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele and Richard Gerstel to understand and experience the images of that complex and incredibly interesting era.
Gustav Klimt is an artist with a biography full of endless creative pursuits. Each stage of his journey is represented in the collection of the Leopold Museum by distinctive works. We will look at Klimt's early drawings to appreciate his skills as a portrait painter. You will also discover newly discovered details of his biography that offer an unexpected perspective on the artist's much recognisable style.
Egon Schiele is a perfect example to illustrate the connection between creativity and the movements of the artist's soul. We will certainly discuss whether it is a coincidence that when the Viennese psychotherapist Sigmund Freud was developing concepts such as "repression", "Oedipus complex" and "acting out", the Viennese artist Schiele painted portraits of blind associates, parodies of famous works by colleagues and paintings of dead mothers.
Klim and Schiele are two of the most famous names of the Viennese art scene at the beginning of the 20th century, but we also take a look at the work of their contemporaries Koloman Moser, Max Openheimer and Bronzia Koller-Pinel and you get a detailed insight into the vibrant intellectual life and creative scene in Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century.
In this tour of the Leopold Museum you will see how artists' redefinition of the purpose of art led to the birth of new artistic styles and a new idea of what art is.

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.

Austrian art through the eyes of a passionate historian

5.00Leopold museum has been my favorite museum during this trip. Julia was amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable about art and while she explains to you the different paintings, you can tell how much she loves what she does and how passionate she is about Austrian art. I highly recommend this tour if you want to know more about history, art and are looking for another museum besides Belvedere. In this tour you learn about Makart, Klimt, Shiele, eccentric Kokoschka, Gerstl, among others. Thank you Julia for a wonderful time.
A tour that exceeded my expectations many, many times

5.00I came to the Leopold Museum with a very basic knowledge of Austrian art, I knew about Gustav Klimt of course, but not much more. In just two hours I not only learnt a few names or had a number of paintings explained to me, but thanks to my brilliant guide Julia I now have a very vivid picture of what was going on in art in Vienna. Julia really has a talent for making you see complexity without overloading you with any kind of technicalities. Highly recommended.
Kudos to art historian Julie!

5.00It is difficult to imagine, that the Leopold Museum's collection of paintings, furniture and handicrafts comprises solely of one man's private collection. Our guide Julie, an art historian, was very knowledgeable of the artwork exhibited, mainly of Viennese painters Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka, etc., from the first half of the 20th century. Her explanation of the intrinsic meaning and hidden intricacies of the masterpiece paintings, as well as of the Succession Movement which took place at that time, was fascinating. I would encourage any art lover to take a private tour of the Leopold Museum and enjoy Julie's passionate explanation as we did.
Top-notch guide

5.00Everything Julia said made sense and was not the usual talk about art styles. She made this tour not what I expected it to be from the description, it was a lot more interesting. I highly recommend this tour!

5.00The Leopold Museum has such a great collection, but we would never have understood or even been able to see it without Julia's excellent guidance. This tour was so much more than just information about artists and paintings. It was the most emotional, intelligent and witty encounter with art we have ever had.
A fantastic tour of the Leopold Museum with Julia!

5.00We did not know exactly what to expect from Austrian art and booked this tour almost by accident. We were all the more surprised that this tour became the highlight of our trip. Our wonderful guide, Julia, created a deep and engaging experience. Thanks to her, we not only saw wonderful art, but had a thought-provoking and emotional encounter with art and history. Five stars!

5.00My wife and I were thrilled to revisit the Leopold Museum in Vienna, as we have a deep appreciation for its impressive collection of art. However, we wanted to take our experience to the next level and booked a private tour with an art expert to gain unique insights. Our expectations were exceeded when we met Julia, our guide for the day. Her exceptional knowledge and ability to communicate complex information in an engaging manner made the experience truly unforgettable. We spent two and a half hours with her, but could have easily spent more time due to the fascinating insights she provided. Our time with Julia was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to Vienna. We cannot wait to visit another museum with her on our next city tour.
Six out of five stars

5.00Our tour was a highlight of our week in Vienna. Julia was knowledgable, engaging, and balanced high level history with specific facts. We came out with a better understanding of Austria, art more broadly, but also the three Austrian masters. I could not recommend the tour more.
One of the highlights of our trip to Vienna

5.00Julia was an engaging and knowledgeable guide, and our 2+ hours with her flew by! I left the tour with a newfound appreciation for Klimt as well as the ability to really see the visual relationship between Klimt's works and Schiele's. In addition, Julia also wove in lots of interesting history about Vienna. In sum, I learned a ton and would take another tour with Julia in a heartbeat.
