Egon-Schiele-Museum, Art museum in Tulln an der Donau, Austria.
The Egon Schiele Museum occupies a former court building and focuses on the Austrian expressionist painter and his artworks. The institution holds various paintings and provides information about Schiele's artistic development.
The museum opened in 1990 in a building originally constructed as a prison in 1898. Converting it into a cultural space made the building's past history part of its new purpose.
The museum displays how Schiele connected with his hometown and how he saw and depicted the region's landscapes. His works reveal his interactions with local artists and thinkers of his era.
The museum features several interactive stations that offer visitors insights into Schiele's era. During a visit, guests can learn about the artists and thinkers of his time through audio and visual presentations.
An original prison cell from the former jail remains preserved inside the museum, giving visitors an unexpected look at daily life in the building. This preserved space connects the past with the visitor experience today.
