Ticketing should've had better instructions on where specifically to redeem voucher for actual tickets. Waited in wrong line and then found out I needed to visit a booth outside the actual museum building first.

Incredible museum! Very nice visit. However, there's no point in buying tickets on the app because you have to change them on the spot at the same ticket office where everyone buys their tickets, so you inevitably have to queue to exchange your tickets and then to get in (no queue-cutting ticket).

It is misleading to say that you can buy tickets online - you can buy vouchers. Which can be redeemed for tickets at the counter, which is nonsense in 2024. Just sell tickets or highlight clearly that the users can only buy vouchers, not tickets. The museum itself was superb, of course.

The art was fantastic an it was not too busy. The only issue was that I thought I bought the ticket online, but it turned out, it was a voucher that needed to be changed on site for tickets. This was a bit confusing, but as the ticket line was not too busy, it was okay. Had too little time and next time would plan min. 3 hours for this.

The online ticket saved us about half an hour of waiting in the queue and made our visit an unexpectedly easygoing experience, right from the start.

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.
