Getting started

The museum is located on Maria-Theresien-Platz, with the main entrance at the front of the building, facing the square, with clear signs to guide you inside.

A world of imperial treasures & Habsburg heritage

The museum also boasts a renowned Egyptian collection, where mummies, sarcophagi, and sacred objects reveal the rituals, beliefs, and artistic legacy of ancient Egypt. Lastly, the Kunstkammer houses a treasure trove of intricate mechanical wonders, including astronomical instruments and ornate clocks.

If you’ve selected the Leopold Museum option, your experience continues with a visit to one of Vienna’s leading modern art museums, home to Austrian Expressionism and key works by Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt.
