I wonder why my online tickets cost more (43 eur) than ones bought at venue (42 eur). I wonder why external app is needed/required in the process at all. I wonder why I could not receive some directly scanable QR code (or bar code) but I had to anyway print the tickets at the cash desk.

The KHM seriously sells tickets through you guys but you have to redeem them at the ticket office, are you all completely wilting? I buy tickets online to avoid queuing if possible! Surprise

The visit was great and the museum was beautiful. The only issue I had was with ticket collection. I don't understand why the online ticket cannot be final without the need to queue to collect the actual tickets. This defeats the purpose of pre-booking, in my opinion. By comparison, the online ticket for the Upper Belvedere allows you to walk straight in.

The fact, that I felt exactly like in the game "Mafia", its last mission called "The Death of Art" has place in the gallery, which, in fact, is Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna:)

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.
