Step into the Schieles' apartment
The Egon Schiele birthplace in Tulln offers a unique opportunity to experience the artist's formative years up close. Life around 1900 comes to life in his family's station apartment, which is furnished true to the original. Modern audio elements tell of Schiele's childhood, his family and the influences that later shaped him as an artist. Original furniture and historical details bring the atmosphere of that time to life. For young visitors in particular, there is a creatively designed comic strip that playfully guides visitors through Schiele's early years. The exhibition shows how the town of Tulln and his family environment influenced his artistic development. The birthplace is not only an exciting place for art lovers, but also for anyone who wants to find out more about the roots of one of the most important artists of the 20th century. An inspiring visit for culture enthusiasts who want to discover art history at its origins.
