Egon Schiele Art Centrum — Attraction in okres Český Krumlov

This museum is a TOTAL FAKE! A joke! We (me and my family) are very, very dissapointed, angry and upset. There are no real art-works of mister Egon Schiele here. This is commercial exploiting of people. How do they DARE to call themselves Egon Schiele Art centre, when there is no art from him there. We are artists ourselves from the Hague, the Netherlands and hugue fans of his work. We have seen a lot of his art work. The Gemeente Museum in the Hague has several real paintings and drawings. We were hoping to see more of mister Schiele his work here. Everything here are photocopies or photos of his work on display as if it is the real-deal. Even the photos of his life and family are copies!!! The only thing real is a little sketchbook, a postcard and two small letters and 1 aquarel of his uncle. Before we went to the center, we read the reviews on google. We knew there were no real paintings of him, but were were not expecting to see photos of his drawings in poor quality. Dont go to this place it is a waste of your time, money, energy and happiness. If you go to this place you are throwing away your money as did we and it is very expensive.We have been to al lot of museums, this is not a real museum or artcentre. We are writing this review to save you the dissapointment we...

From an ethical standpoint, not just “modern standards", Egon Schiele’s documented behavior toward very young girls raises serious concerns. We know that:

He deliberately sought out teenagers and children as models for sexually explicit work. He allowed minors into his studio where erotic material was present. He crossed boundaries of power, age, and consent in ways that today we would absolutely call exploitative and abusive.

The fact that he wasn’t convicted of sexual assault doesn’t erase the ethical problem: he placed vulnerable young people in sexualized situations for his own art and gratification.

So from an ethical perspective, regardless of time period, his conduct fits what we would now call predatory and...

I don’t recommend this place. The name Egon Schiele is used simply to attract people rather than because there are actual pieces. Not only is there a massive lack of originals but the photos they have of his works are bad quality and black and white. Which is almost ironic. There is one original sketchbook. It’s sat in a glass box, stuck on a single page. The other pages aren’t even photographed. There are letters. No translation. Not even rewritten. It’s just miserable. If you know nothing about Egon Schiele it might not be that bad??? But if you do know something and you visited for him? Skip this place. It’s a waste of...
