The Leopold Museum in the Museum Quarter has the largest collection of works by this Viennese expressionist. So here I offer you a crash-course on the problematic topics of 20th century art: the borderline between art and pornography, the relevance of the artist's personality to the interpretation of his works, and the question of the objective and subjective value of art. We will restrict ourselves to those data from the artist's biography, whose traces can be clearly seen in his works. Most of our attention will be focused on the principles of interpretation that are relevant for 20th century art. We will analyse the difference between pornography and art, discuss the limits of self-expression and the impact of "problematic" works of art on society as a whole. We will turn to the principles of art therapy, the works of Sigmund Freud and one of Scheherazade's tales for commentary on controversial works. This tour is suitable for those interested in Viennese Art Nouveau and those who want to find an approach to 20th century art.

What you'll see and do
Leopold Museum
Leopold Museum is the best place in Vienna to see the most scandalous works of arts ever created in Vienna and understand the principle of the nowness of art. Leopold Museum features a permanent exhibition of Egon Schiele’s works aside from temporary expositions, and it is considered that Shiele’s exhibitionist works are still capable of inciting dubious reactions since many themes he covered in his pieces, such as the line between pornography and art, still cause heated discussions nowadays.

Response from the operator: Dear 756herut, I truly don't know what to respond to the copy-paste of my own text from the tour description about Schiele's art. I assume it's some kind of mistake, but Tripadvisor decided to leave this review. Well, thanks for the five stars ))

Thought provoking insight into Egon Schiele, wide ranging and engaging tour
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and in depth Art history provided by Julia. It was an extremely memorable experience for me. It totally enriched my enjoyment of the amazing Schiele artworks. I felt emotionally uplifted by the interesting talk which was very wide ranging and thought provoking. I really now would like to study to become an Art Historian !!
Response from the operator: Dear David, thank you for your kind words! I'm very happy this experience was inspiring for you, and I wish you many more exciting art discoveries!

Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask": questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask" cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask" take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask" worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask"?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask" suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask"?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask" start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
