He&#8217;s perhaps an acquired taste (it took me a while), but his name has lasted beyond the brief period of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/culture\/wiener-moderne\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"28303\">Viennese Modernism<\/a> to achieve global recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, WWI (or rather the Spanish flu that accompanied it) put an end to Schiele&#8217;s short life in 1918. To mark the centenary of his death, the Leopold Museum put on a major jubilee exhibition of his work, adding loans from other collections to their own world-beating resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the bottom of the page for the museum&#8217;s teaser video (warning: includes nudity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition featured his art, poems, letters, and photos, taking visitors on a journey across his creative life through such themes as self, ego, mother, spirituality, women, landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits. And just as an artist&#8217;s output might change through time, so it was with this exhibition, with works flowing in and out at intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all should have finished in early November, but the museum announced an extension through to March 2019, responding no doubt to the positive visitor numbers (over 450,000 by mid-October 2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this final &#8220;Reloaded&#8221; iteration, works by nine contemporary artists slip into the exhibition, drawing links between today&#8217;s art and Schiele&#8217;s themes and motifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Schiele exhibition runs through to Sunday, March 10, 2019.

It&#8217;s also a short walk from the Ring boulevard, which is served by the 1, 2, D and 71 trams, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: MuseumsQuartier, Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1i9IZX6LeUKth_5sm2EOO-SqQl8s\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Leopold Museum is synonymous with Egon Schiele, and their 2018 exhibition of his works pulled in over 450,000 visitors.
