If you know who is Egon Schiele then you will probably enjoy. Do not expect anything bombastic, this is very quiet and modest museum and it depends the date you come if there is something interesting or not to see those days. In any case there is really quiet café and shop with great colection of art books, postcards and othar staff. Especially recommended during short and dark winter days. Before (or after) visit just walk the streets around the museum and imagine how it was when Schiele lived there. Not much changed at some corners...
great warehouse setting, interesting presentation of local artists also, as well as a centennial exhibition of a great collage artist. Schiele history very good.
This is an interesting exhibit of Schiele's time in Cesky Krumlov. Not comprehensive by any means yet well worth your time. Very little original art but not necessary for the story being told. An interesting building worthy of exploration.
Fascinating man, fascinating gallery. If you have some time in Cesky Krumlov after you're looked at the main tourist areas, this gallery is worth a visit.
Stopped in here first thing in the morning and I was very surprised to find some excellent art by artists I had not heard of before. I loved the Schiele collection and the museum has a great gift shop.
Interesting information about the 20the century historie including the time bevor and after WW2. Nice art collection.
The exhibition hall is now closed until April 2015 as they are installing the new exhibition. We still managed to spend 20 minutes browsing the surprisingly expansive gift shop.
My travel agent convinced me to go from Prague to Vienna via Cesky Krumlov. I saw that this was in town and put it on my itinerary. It really doesn't have a lot but it's not expensive.
His mother was from Cesky, he went there often and painted, got kicked out for painting young girls and living with his girlfriend, but they love him anyway. They do not have a huge collection, but some good ones, and lots of history pertaining to him. This is a well done museum, in an old industrial building. In addition to the Schiele's they have other exhibits as well. The current one is really remarkable.....don't miss it if you are there now.
I had not heard of the artist Egon Schiele, who lived in Chesky and did much work there. However, once I saw the museum, I really enjoyed his work and his interesting history. In Vienna, we went to the Secessionist Museum to see more of his work.Besides Schiele's great work, there are collages by Jiri Kolar. I had not heard of him, but my mind was opened. I hope you have the same experience; absolutely amazing craftsmanship and creativity. If you love art and want to see something new, please visit. You will not regret it!
