In this exhibition at the Leopold Museum, the highlights from six collections of the Vienna Insurance Group will encounter each other for the first time. Despite the collections’ different emphases and evolutions, their works are unknown familiars, as they all hail from compilations gathered by companies belonging to the same family. The Vienna Insurance Group’s 200-year anniversary provides the opportunity to present the collections of the VIG, the Wiener Städtische Versicherung, the Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein, the Donau Versicherung, the Serbian Wiener Städtische Osiguranje as well as the Latvian BTA Baltic.
Leopold Museum
The Leopold Museum houses the art collection established by Rudolf Leopold. Its highlight is the “Vienna 1900” presentation, featuring the world’s most important collection of works by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Viennese Modernism, international Classical Modernism and the Wiener Werkstätte. The museum also shows special exhibitions in the context of the collection.
