Nestled in the heart of Tulln, the former city prison has undergone a remarkable transformation since 1990. It now stands as a unique museum that pays homage to the life and artistry of Egon Schiele, marking its opening on the centenary of the artist's birth. Each year, about 6,000 art enthusiasts from across the globe make their way to this intriguing spot to explore Schiele's early works and immerse themselves in his creative journey.

The museum's setting, with its partially preserved prison cells, adds a touch of authenticity and intrigue to the exhibitions. This unusual backdrop presents both a challenge and a charm, contributing to the museum's distinctive atmosphere. One particularly captivating feature is the studio tucked away in the attic. Here, visitors of all ages are encouraged not just to admire the art on display, but to unleash their own creativity and produce their own masterpieces. It's an interactive experience that invites you to step into Schiele's shoes, if only for a moment.

For those planning a visit, Tulln offers more than just the museum. The town is also renowned for its beautiful floral displays and picturesque riverside, making it a delightful destination for a day trip or a longer stay. It's a place where art and nature blend seamlessly, providing a perfect backdrop for inspiration and relaxation.
