Anton Peschka. Friend, brother-in-law, artist and collector

Since 2023, there has been a small presentation area on the second floor of the museum that combines works from Egon Schiele's circle with the results of the latest research. In the 2025 season, the exhibition is dedicated to Egon Schiele's artist friend and brother-in-law Anton Peschka, and interviews with Elisabeth Leopold that have never been published before will be on display in her memory. There will also be the opportunity to take part in a special VR experience in 2025:

Anton Peschka. Friend, brother-in-law, artist and collector

Hardly anyone in Egon Schiele's circle has such multifaceted connections to the artist of the century as Schiele's brother-in-law, who was a close friend of Schiele from his student days until his death. As an artist and heir to the estate of his wife Gerti (Egon Schiele's younger sister), Anton Peschka was very close to his friend's work, drew and painted in Schiele's style, completed his works and is still suspected of having forged “Schieles”. The exhibition brings together works by the artist friend and brother-in-law that date back to Schiele's time and still pose a mystery today.
