Vienna Day 5 Leopold Museum

Today we spent about 4hrs in the Leopold Museum that housed works by the artists' of the 1900.

It showed work by Klimt from his early work till his work called Death and Life. His studio was also on show. Lots of Egon Schiele, and the artist from the Secession period, like Giestyl, Schindler, Hans Markt, Oskar Kokoschka and Max Oppenheimer.
Furniture by Kololmen Moser, and Josef Hoffmann.

I felt that the Museum was very well laid out and the work was really thought provoking and emotive.

After the museum, we did a walking tour for 1900. The guide literally walked us through from Hitler's early days, his life in Linz, Vienna, his failure to be accepted into The Academy of Fine Arts, his 4 years living as a vagabond, selling watercolour cards, to finally joining the German army and the rest is history. The final part of the tour was where Hitler stood to address Austrian. Wonderful guide and a great story teller.
