Egon Schiele Museum
The Egon Schiele Museum, housed in a former jail near the Danube, vividly presents the story of the life of the Tulln-born artist. It contains 100 of his paintings and sketches and a mock-up of the cell he was briefly imprisoned in (he was however jailed in Neulengbach). He fell foul of the law in 1912 following the seizure of 125 erotic drawings; some were of pubescent girls, and Schiele was also in trouble for allowing children to view his explicit works.

Minoritenkirche
The rococo Minoritenkirche from 1739 is decorated with a magnificent series of ceiling frescoes dedicated to St Johannes Nepomuk, culminating in one depicting his fall from a bridge at the hands of Bohemia’s King Wenceslaus IV; the angel trying to save him is tumbling out of the frame.
