MuseumsQuartier & Leopold Museum
MuseumsQuartier
A cultural complex converted from former imperial stables. The Leopold Museum holds the world's largest collection of Egon Schiele works, and the courtyard's colourful lounge chairs are a local gathering spot.
The MuseumsQuartier was converted from 18th-century imperial stables and is one of the largest cultural complexes in the world. It houses the Leopold Museum, the Museum of Modern Art (mumok), the Kunsthalle Wien and the Children's Museum. The Leopold Museum has the world's largest collection of Egon Schiele's work, along with Vienna Secession and Expressionist pieces including Klimt's "Death and Life". Admission is about 17 euros. The courtyard is free to enter. In summer it fills with colourful Enzi lounge chairs, and the cafés and bars stay open late. Take the U2 metro to MuseumsQuartier station.
