Grandeur - We took the convenient tram D, which stops around the corner. The Maria-Theresien-Platz itself is already magnificent, but this building is very impressive, not only on the outside.. All the lockers were occupied, but there is also a free cloakroom, where we were helped swiftly. We opted to view a small selection of paintings only. They were most impressive. One of the good things in this museum is that every room had big, comfortable couches to have a rest and take in the beauty of the paintings. The museum shop is wonderful. We bought a nice small painting by Bernardo Bellotto: Vienna viewed from the Belvedere Palace at a reasonable price.

Fantastic! - Amazing!! Beautiful architecture and a fantastic collection. An absolute must see if you are in Vienna. Buying a ticket online in advance is recommended. There is a nice restaurant in it, booking in advance is advisable, unless you arrive early in the museum.

The collection is very rich<維也納藝術史博物館>~ - Vienna Museum of Art History~ Symmetry with the Natural History Museum and stand on the<瑪利亞特麗莎> square! The collection is very rich, there is a series of exhibitions in different periods ~ Our team hired guides to explain carefully and help to watch the paintings of famous artists! For friends interested in European art, it is worth spending 1-2 days to carefully appreciate~~

A must visit museum - Our visit to the Kunsthistorisches Museum was an absolute highlight of our trip to Vienna. From the moment we stepped inside, we were struck by the sheer grandeur and beauty of the building itself—every room is a masterpiece in its own right, perfectly complementing the incredible collection it houses. The museum’s collection is truly world-class, featuring masterpieces from artists such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Raphael, as well as an astonishing collection of Bruegel paintings—the largest in the world. Every gallery offers something breathtaking, from stunning Renaissance and Baroque works to fascinating ancient artifacts. The Egyptian and Greek exhibits were equally impressive, showcasing history in a way that is both immersive and educational. Beyond the art, the atmosphere and layout of the museum made it a pleasure to explore. The displays are thoughtfully curated, and despite the museum’s vast size, everything felt accessible and well-organized. If you’re visiting Vienna, the Kunsthistorisches Museum is an absolute must-see. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply appreciate history and culture, this museum offers an unparalleled experience. We left feeling truly inspired and can’t wait to return!

Beautiful museum - Very nice museum especially for the Egyptian, ancient rooms and the fabulous art cabinet (kunstkammer). Coffee break under the dome, practical instructions and fluidity in the rooms to stroll in all serenity.

Beautiful and informative sightseeing - In Vienna, it is essential to visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum: It houses treasures of Dutch, Flemish, German and Italian artists. I would recommend more than 3 hours for the visit to walk through the painting halls and realize the full potential. You should also purchase an audio guide, as these provide a detailed description, informative interpretation options and the more concrete background of the artworks. However, I find it incomprehensible that Sisi souvenirs were put up for sale in the shop, although no artwork about the Empress was exhibited in this museum. In my opinion, a museum should be happy with its artworks and advertise them instead of belittling itself like this. For Sisi-Merch there are the Hofburg, Schönbrunn Palace and thousands of souvenir shops in Vienna.

Not to be missed - An incredible collection that traces five millennia of history. Paintings by Rubens, Arcimboldo, Caravaggio, Veronese etc. The reception is sometimes a little cold and no book from the museum in French. It's so beautiful that you can quickly overdose. A tip, start with the rooms on Egypt.
