The new VR experience ‘Egon Schiele – A personal encounter’

More than 100 years ago, the Spanish flu also raged in Austria. In the midst of these dark times, the life of the exceptional artist Egon Schiele unfortunately ended far too soon. An impressively realistic VR experience invites us to have a conversation with Egon Schiele in his final hours. Through flashbacks, we immerse ourselves in Vienna around 1900 and are able to participate in key moments of his life that influenced his art.  

‘Egon Schiele - A Personal Encounter’ is more than just a tribute to his work - it is an innovative VR experience that brings us closer to his life in an impressive way. Schiele talks to us, asks questions, and our answers influence the course of the story. Every encounter is unique and personal.

From 3 April 2025, you can experience the virtual reality experience in German and English between 11:00 and 15:00 during our opening hours at the Egon Schiele Museum Tulln. 

A timeslot for participation at 11:00, 13:00, 14:00 and 15:00 is free of charge as part of museum admission and must be booked in advance via our  webshop. As we have a VR station in the museum, only one person can book the Virtual Experience per timeslot! 

For around 35 minutes, we embark on a journey to Vienna at the turn of the century - into the mind of an extraordinary artist, his visions and his time.
