Egon-Schiele-Museum and its collection

The Egon Schiele Museum in Tulln an der Donau is a museum of fine arts dedicated to the painter Egon Schiele, who was born in the town. The museum showcases the early works of the artist and his relationship with his hometown Tulln and the region of Lower Austria. It also highlights his passion for toy trains.

The Permanent Exhibition

The museum's permanent exhibition titled "Egon Schiele: The Beginnings of the Artist" was reopened in April 2011 after renovation and redesign measures. The exhibition focuses on Schiele's early work and his relationship with his hometown Tulln and the region of Lower Austria. The exhibition is exclusively equipped with originals from the collections of the municipality of Tulln and the Museum Lower Austria, as well as a private collection.

The Treasure Chamber

The museum also features a treasure chamber with original works that focus on different chapters from the artist's life each year. This provides visitors with a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the life and works of Egon Schiele.

Schiele's Birth Room

The museum has rented and furnished Schiele's birth room and an adjacent room at the Tulln train station. The room is equipped with furniture that corresponded to the taste of the time, as no photographs of the rooms are preserved. The curtains of the room were modeled after those in a photo of the apartment of Leopold Czihaczek, who was Egon Schiele's uncle and guardian. The original tiled stove, in which Schiele's father burned his shares in a fit of mental confusion, is on display.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Egon-Schiele-Museum in Tulln an der Donau, Austria, offers visitors an intimate look into the life and works of the renowned expressionist artist Egon Schiele. Located in the artist's birthplace, this small but well-curated museum provides a comprehensive overview of Schiele's artistic development and personal history.

    Visitors appreciate the museum's thoughtful presentation of Schiele's artwork, which includes early sketches, paintings, and personal artifacts. The chronological arrangement allows for a clear understanding of the artist's evolution and the influences that shaped his distinctive style. Many reviewers highlight the informative audio guide, available in multiple languages, which enhances the viewing experience with detailed explanations and context.

    The museum's setting in Schiele's renovated birth house adds an authentic touch, allowing visitors to connect with the artist's roots. However, some visitors note that the museum's small size means it can be explored relatively quickly, which may disappoint those expecting a more extensive collection.

    While the majority of reviews are positive, a few visitors mention that the museum might not appeal to those unfamiliar with Schiele's work or those who find his art style challenging. Additionally, some reviewers suggest that more English translations for some exhibits would be beneficial for international visitors.

    Despite its compact size, the museum is generally regarded as well worth visiting for art enthusiasts and those interested in Schiele's life and work. The staff is often praised for their friendliness and knowledge, contributing to a positive experience for most visitors.
