Best museum I've ever been to!! The ticket is totally worth it. The feeling of dealing with a great story is pleasantly overwhelming. I've seen some amazing museums in Berlin, London and Amsterdam, but this one is by far the best! The architecture of the building and the decoration of the halls are incredible – it's definitely worth a visit!

I bought online tickets, but I had still to exchange them into normal tickets at ticket office. What's the point of online tickets then...

The museum, the beautiful architecture and the magnific collection. But it would be easier to get a code to enter directly to the museum and thus avoid to go to a ticket Office to get the printed ticket.

I really enjoyed the collection and the way the art was displayed. If you buy a ticket online you should be able to download it, and not just join the ticket queue to collect the ticket.

What I liked most were the paintings on display, a real treasure. What I liked the least was that there were no clear instructions on where to exchange the reservations for the ticket and I had to stand in line for the tickets and when I arrived I was told that it was not necessary 😒 The Rembrandt paintings were in a separate exhibit that had an additional cost, and I didn't get to see them.

Your Experience

Built in 1891 by Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kunsthistorisches Museum is the largest museum in all of Austria and one of the most significant art museums in the world. Housing artifacts spanning over 5 millennia, all the way from Ancient Egypt and classical antiquity (between 8th century BC and 6th century AD) to late 18th century masterpieces, the Kunsthistorisches Museum is a testament to the patronage of the distinguished House of Habsburg.

The massive Picture Gallery here is home to the main collection of the Habsburg family. Notable works from eminent artists such as Raphael, Titan, Pieter Brueghel, Rembrandt, and Peter Paul Rubens are present in the Gallery. The museum also houses the largest collection of works by Pieter Brueghel, which promises to take your breath away. At the Kunstkammer, which translates to the cabinet of curiosities, you can see eye-catching works of art by goldsmiths, including the stunning pieces by Benvenuto Cellini. You can also catch sight of some valuable mechanical timepieces of a different era, and see the intricate mechanical designs. Filigree artworks made of ivory and other sculptural masterpieces complete a full-fledged and unrivaled art experience.

The striking architecture of the building itself is another work of art. The museum’s interiors are lavishly decorated with murals, gold-leaf ornamentation, stucco, and marble. A grand staircase is also present within the museum, lined with paintings by Ernst Klimt, Gustav Klimt, Mihaly Munkacsy.
