Over the past twenty years, Vienna has solved some of the problems in the cultutral area with very interesting outcomes: MuseumsQuartier is one of them. It's an ensemble of museums, galleries and exhibitions in the centre of Vienna. There are also restaurants and cafes making MuseumsQuartier one of the best paces in Vienna. There was a fusion between old and modern and museums are itself beautiful examples of good architecture (specially the Museum of Modern Arts).
However I visited Leopold Museum. Dr. Rudolf Leopold was born in 1925 and started to colect art during his medical studies. Leopold Museum opened eight years ago and assembls a very important ensemble of masterpieces of the Viennese Secessionist Movement, the Viennese Modernist Movement and the Austrian Expressionist Movement. The museum contains the largest Egon Schiele (1890-1918) collection in the world, together with major works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl, Albin Egger-Lienz and Emil Jakob Schindler among others. There is a lot of natural light and the big windows allow the visitors to have an outstanding view of Vienna.
