The Leopold Museum was specially built in 2001 for the permanent presentation of the former private art collection of Rudolf (born 1925), and Elisabeth Leopold. The showrooms for the permanent and special collections encompass five levels and 5,400 square meters.
The core of the collection consists of Austrian art of the first half of the 20th century.
The museum contains the largest Egon Schiele collection in the world, together with major works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl, Albin Egger-Lienz, and paintings and prints by Herbert Boeckl, Hans Böhler, Anton Faistauer, Anton Kolig, Alfred Kubin, and Wilhelm Thöny. In addition, it features works from the 19th century by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Friedrich Gauermann, August von Pettenkofen, Anton Romako, Emil Jakob Schindler, and Carl Schuch, among others.
