Itinerary
Built by Emperor Franz Joseph to house the splendid imperial collections, it is now one of the world’s most important museums. Artefacts from ancient Egypt to classical antiquity to the late 18th century document the patronage and connoisseurship of the art-loving members of the House of Habsburg. In the Picture Gallery you can see celebrated master-pieces by Rubens, Rembrandt, Raphael, Vermeer, Velázquez, Titian and Durer, as well as the world’s largest collection of works by Bruegel. At the Kunstkammer Vienna goldsmith’s works such as the famous saliera by Benvenuto Cellini, sculptural masterpieces, filigree works in ivory, valuable timepieces and complex automata by the best and most famous artists of the day – each item unique in the world – provide an unrivalled cross-section through the history of art. Equally enjoyable for every art-lover is the magnificent building itself with its imposing staircase featuring a series of paintings on which Gustav Klimt collaborated.

Outstanding museum, self guided experience but you can get your own audio guide. The art/ artifacts span from ancient times to more recent painters. Several art works were by artists we had never seen in person such as Ver Meer. The collection by Bruegel make visiting the museum a must. The art is presented beautifully and the building itself is stunning and something to see.
Absolutely stunning museum ! The artifacts, paintings , even the cafe ! Reserve good three hours at least if you like art ! And reserve a place for cafe inside ! People standing in line would be guaranteed jealous ! A gem to visit !
It is necessary to change the voucher into tickets in front of the museum at the group kiosk. Excellent museum, sublime works, magnificent architecture. Do not hesitate to go have a drink at the café under the rotunda.
A lovely museum- loved soaking it in all in, though a little too large for a day. One comment- while old Romans and Egyptians tales are correctly referred to as Mythology, the same word is not use for biblical stories. I wonder why the testaments are not called Bibilical Mythology?
The Kunst Museum is a must. It houses artwork obtained through the years by the Hapburgs and is very worthwhile to see. I especially enjoyed seeing the fine porcelains.
This has got to be the most astonishing collection I've seen. The intensity of the riches is quite extraordinary....and there's so much of it.... Museum Fatigue is real! It is a must do, but it's best to concentrate on the parts that interest you most (and take some sitting breaks to clear the mind).... if you can pay full attention to the whole thing, you get got more stamina than I!
As in many capitals, the Fine Arts Museum is a must-see in Vienna (for those interested in art). In magnificent buildings, countless major pieces are showcased. Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Brueghel are notably on the menu... ah! scrutinizing the details of "The Tower of Babel"... The afternoon was dedicated to the Egyptian collections, which contain many interesting pieces. In short, if you have only one cultural visit to make in Vienna: KHM
Don't buy this ticket. It does not allow you to skip the line. You still have to stand in line with everyone else and the cashier will scan the barcode and give you the actual ticket to get into the museum. I went inside stood in line and had to go back outside to get the entrance ticket. My fault for not reading the reviews that warned of this. Luckily, I went on a weekday and there was no line outside. The museum was awesome and a must see if you are in Vienna!
Very interesting and definitely worth doing. The rating is lower because of Viator being misleading, not because of the activity itself. Firstly, you must go to the ticket office and exchange your voucher for a ticket, which is not made clear on the booking. Secondly, the very polite and friendly ticket office advisor said Viator bookings are problematic for them because they can never offer “skip the line” and they’ve asked Viator to stop offering this but they continue to do so. We happened to go on a day when it wasn’t busy, so queues weren’t an issue, but this could be very frustrating if it was a busy day.
The museum is wonderful and I would definitely buy tickets before hand. The early ticket allows entry at opening time which allows you to view most of the exhibits before the crowds arrive.
