About this tour
This session covers the Leopold Museum's exterior and entrance hall, a modern limestone building holding one of the world's largest Egon Schiele collections. You see the facade's deliberately plain design and then a glimpse inside from the doorway. It is a short session focused on one specific museum within the wider complex.
I stay close to the entrance throughout, explaining the collection's history rather than describing works I cannot film live inside. Questions come in on Schiele specifically, and I answer what I know. A short reading list follows for anyone wanting more on the artist.
This suits anyone with a specific interest in Schiele and early twentieth-century Austrian art. It also pairs well with the courtyard session for wider context.

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Sachertorte and Neubau, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Times are shown in Vienna time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
