Egon Schiele Museum — Attraction in Gemeinde Tulln an der Donau

It’s all about expectations. The staff was very upfront and explained what were displayed in the museum - NO famous paintings that you can see anywhere in the big museums in the world.

If you want to see Schiele's masterpieces, visit Albertina and use your 5 Euros and 10 minutes of time for anything more enriching, e.g., drink a glass of cold beer in one of...
