Traveler reviews
Ann Simonova
★★★★★a month agoAn absolute must-visit for modern art lovers! I easily spent over three hours exploring the collections, and it was worth every minute. The museum gives fantastic historical context behind the art, making it as educational as it is visually impressive. On top of that, the whole museum is super well-organized and efficient to navigate—no confusing layouts or massive crowds slowing you down. Highly recommend giving yourself plenty of time to enjoy it!

★★★★★2 months agoI suspect I am the only person who has ever loved the Leopold Museum enough to consider buying it. Love, unfortunately, is only one part of the transaction. Klimt. Schiele. The Viennese Secession. Jugendstil in some of its finest forms. First, a single Schiele. The museum will understand.
