The inventory of the art museum was compiled by the Viennese ophthalmologists and art lovers Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold. For five decades, starting in the 1950s, the couple collected around 5000 works of art, including the world&#8217;s largest Egon Schiele collection. In addition to their passion for art, they also demonstrated remarkable connoisseurship. Works by artists such as Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, which were generally frowned upon up until the 1960s, were among the collector&#8217;s items and were therefore acquired for comparatively small sums.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994, Rudolf Leopold brought part of his considerable art collection &#8211; consisting of 5200 works &#8211; into the &#8220;Leopold Museum Private Foundation&#8221;. In 2001, this collection moved to the Leopold Museum in the Museums Quartier, which was named after the Leopold couple.<\/p>\n<p>The cuboid building designed by the architects Laurids and Manfred Ortner is clad in white shell limestone and impresses with its bright, light-flooded rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Leopold Museum is the most visited building in the Museums Quartier and is considered one of the most important cultural centers in Vienna.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1666544963945\">Contact<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Address:<\/strong> MuseumsQuartier, Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Vienna<\/li>\n<li><strong>Subway:<\/strong>&nbsp;U3 or U2 to Volkstheater \/ MuseumsQuartier<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opening Times:<\/strong> The current opening times can be found on the Leopold Museum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leopoldmuseum.org\/de\/besuch\/oeffnungszeiten\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\">website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Leopold Museum presents one of the most extensive collections of modern Austrian art.

2001. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The inventory of the art museum was compiled by the Viennese ophthalmologists and art lovers Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For five decades, starting in the 1950s, the couple collected around 5000 works of art, including the world's largest Egon Schiele collection. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In addition to their passion for art, they also demonstrated remarkable connoisseurship. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Works by artists such as Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, which were generally frowned upon up until the 1960s, were among the collector's items and were therefore acquired for comparatively small sums.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In 1994, Rudolf Leopold brought part of his considerable art collection - consisting of 5200 works - into the \"Leopold Museum Private Foundation\". <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In 2001, this collection moved to the Leopold Museum in the Museums Quartier, which was named after the Leopold couple.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The cuboid building designed by the architects Laurids and Manfred Ortner is clad in white shell limestone and impresses with its bright, light-flooded rooms.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Today, the Leopold Museum is the most visited building in the Museums Quartier and is considered one of the most important cultural centers in Vienna.&nbsp;<\/font><\/font><\/p><h2
