Florence
We only had a long weekend to do the city and so your tour really helped us get our bearings. There's just so much to see there! I know we only scraped the surface but it worked really well for us.

Venice
This was a great tour that took you everywhere you needed to go. Particularly liked the walk through of the mosaic frescoes on the front of the Basilica. We had a great time in Venice, made all the more special by this evocative guide. Like the speaker's voice too - one of the best I've listened to.

VIENNA - Egon Schiele museum is 10 years old

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of its opening, the Leopold Museum is dedicating the autumn exhibition to the early work of Egon Schiele.

As we mention in our Vienna mp3 tours the city was at the centre of an exciting modern creative movement at the start of the last century. Our audio guide to Vienna the imperial city shows how the great imperial buildings and monuments sit alongside such striking modern creations as the Secession building.

So, from now until January 2012, around 100 works by Schiele - from superb paintings to works on paper - can be seen at the Leopold Museum. At the centre of the exhibition is the early work of the artist, who died in 1918 aged just 28 years. Schiele's first main works, which he created after 1910, are marked by a deep melancholy and sadness. Many of the artist's works produced between 1910 and 1914 placed him in the centre of public art criticism. Above all, Schiele's drastic nudes shocked people at the time. Another focal point of the exhibition is dedicated to pose and movement in Schiele's work. Also on show are six masterpieces by Schiele's contemporary, the expressionist Oskar Kokoschka.

Met with occasional hostility in Vienna around 1910, Schiele is nowadays considered one of Austria's most important painters and one of the most significant members of the Expressionist movement. The Leopold Museum owns the world's largest and most important Schiele collection.
