Vienna Leopold Museum: Klimt & Schiele Private Art TourYou climb the Leopold Museum's main staircase with a private art historian guide who walks you through Klimt's portraits and psychological evolution, Schiele's provocative works and their connection to Freud's Vienna, and the broader circle of early twentieth-century Viennese artists who redefined what art could be. Entry to the museum and expert commentary are included; the tour is private to your group only, and your guide meets you at the entrance.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand early twentieth-century Viennese art through someone who knows the artists' biographies and the historical moment that shaped them — the private format means your guide can slow down when a painting demands it, and entry is already included so you're not managing tickets.
