I visited the Leopold Museum by myself yesterday, because no one wanted to join me. The museum was very nice, and absolutely worth a visit if you’re in Vienna. It houses the largest collection of Egon Schiele’s work in the world, as well as some work by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and many other artists from the first half of the 20th Century.
I know some people who don’t enjoy going to museums, even with experts or in groups, let alone by themselves. Here’s a tip: bring some earbuds and your iPod with you. This makes the experience far more enjoyable. Bonus points if you can match the music with the artwork. Yesterday I listened to the new Mumford and Sons album, which is at times dark and at times happy. This happened to go pretty well with the Leopold collection, and made the whole experience extremely enjoyable.
