Private Themed Tour of the Leopold Museum with an Art Historian: "All You Wanted to Know About Egon Schiele but Were Afraid to Ask" (opens in a new tab)

2 1 h 15 min

The Leopold Museum in the Museum Quarter has the largest collection of works by this Viennese expressionist. So here I offer you a crash-course on the problematic topics of 20th century art: the borderline between art and pornography, the relevance of the artist's personality to the interpretation of his works, and the question of the objective and subjective value of art. We will restrict ourselves to those data from the artist's biography, whose traces can be clearly seen in his works. Most of our attention will be focused on the principles of interpretation that are relevant for 20th century art. We will analyse the difference between pornography and art, discuss the limits of self-expression and the impact of "problematic" works of art on society as a whole. We will turn to the principles of art therapy, the works of Sigmund Freud and one of Scheherazade's tales for commentary on controversial works. This tour is suitable for those interested in Viennese Art Nouveau and those who want to find an approach to 20th century art.

How to Pick a Crown. A Private Themed Tour of the Imperial Treasury (Kaiserliche Schatzkammer) / Tickets included (opens in a new tab)

2 2 h 15 min

On this tour we will see the crown of the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, the cradle of the Napoleon II, the horn of a unicorn and the robes of the members of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Each of these artefacts will tell us important and very fascinating things about ourselves. For example why crowns were invented in the first place, what Russian oligarchs and Roman patricians have in common and what medieval laws are similar to recommendations of fashionable magazines.  We will analyse the symbolism of the crown of the Austrian Empire and see where the unhappy Emperor Maximilian of Mexico went wrong. We will understand what the sceptre was at the beginning of his historical career and we will see evidence that the historical cosplay was not invented by fans of J.R.R. Tolkien at all. And, of course, we won't miss the religious relics - The Veil of Veronica, the tooth of John the Baptist and fragments of the True Cross. Each of these museum regalia embody values and ideas about the hierarchy of society, and many of them are based on our subconscious attitudes.
