The Leopold Museum in Vienna is a beautiful museum that showcases Austrian art from the late 19th century and Modernism, with a focus on artists like Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt. The museum's design and layout are innovative and well-prepared, creating a pleasant and immersive experience. The collection of art is fantastic and breathtaking, featuring works by Schiele, Klimt, Picasso, and many other renowned artists. The museum is spacious and not crowded, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the artwork. The audio tour could use improvement, as the numbering system and matching of audio to text is lacking. However, the museum provides good facilities, including a free bag check for larger bags. Overall, the Leopold Museum is highly recommended and a must-visit for art enthusiasts in Vienna.
