The highlight of the Museum Quarter, the Leopold Museum is home to the world's largest trove of the works of Egon Schiele (1890–1918), who has been rediscovered by the art world and now stands alongside Klimt and Kokoschka as one of the preeminent artists of the Wiener Moderne. The Leopold's inventory boasts more than 2,500 Schiele drawings and watercolors and 330 oil canvases. Klimt's masterpiece "Death and Life", which shows a skeletal figure menacing a brightly colored- and patterned-clump of men, women and toddlers, is another highlight here. Other Austrian modernist masterpieces include paintings by Anton Romaki and Richard Gerstl, and Klimt's Secessionist colleagues Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Adolf Loos. The museum offers excellent English-language tours several times a week for an additional €5.
