Egon Schiele atelier
About This Museum
Tucked away in Český Krumlov, this isn't your typical grand museum—it's the actual, wonderfully preserved studio where the provocative Egon Schiele lived and worked for a brief but intense period. You can almost feel his restless energy lingering in these modest rooms. It’s a raw, intimate look at the artist's life away from the crowds of Vienna. They've kept it simple, focusing on his connection to this beautiful, sometimes scandalized town.
Collection Highlights
The main draw is a collection of his graphic works and reproductions of those famously raw, emotional drawings. They also have fascinating photographs and documents that tell the story of his tumultuous time here, including how the conservative locals were absolutely shocked by his lifestyle and art.
Visitor Information
It's a small spot, so you can easily soak it all up in under an hour. Definitely check their opening hours online before you go as they can be seasonal. Finding it is part of the fun—it's a bit off the main tourist drag in a quiet, picturesque area.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in a lovely, unassuming Renaissance-era burgher's house that feels perfectly authentic to the historic town.
