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.

Impermissible for anyone who likes one. On museum with many different attractions from Egyptian mummies to treasures of art objects and famous paintings.
You still need to stand in line at the ticket office to exchange this voucher for a ticket. It’s only beneficial if you got a ticket at a discounted price compared to the museum’s prices.
They do not accept tickets on phones; have them printed out at the entrance ticket offices.
This large museum is located in the museum district across from its twin, the natural history museum. Under 19 years old, the ticket is free. For adults, 24.00 euros. What I always recommend, especially if you are a family with children/teenagers, is to prepare beforehand, select the works of interest, their location, and head “surgically” toward them. The Museum is huge, there are thousands of works, hundreds of portraits of monarchs, noblemen, noblewomen... objects... Egyptian and Greco-Roman artifacts... extraordinary painters and sculptors: Caravaggio, Tiepolo, Raphael, Perugino, Bruegel, Velasquez, Rubens, Rembrandt, Arcimboldo, Vermeer, Cellini... to visit it all calmly and carefully, it takes at least two days, morning and afternoon. 25/30 absolute masterpieces... recommended.
This was not what was advertised. 1) This was NOT a skip the line ticket. When we got to the entrance of the museum, we were told that we only had a voucher and that we had to go to a kiosk outside and get in line to exchange our voucher for our tickets. Nowhere in the Trip Advisor ad/post was this pointed out. 2) The ad states “that the collection at Neue Berg was included in our ticket.” IT WAS NOT. We asked at the Neue Burg and was told specifically that it was not included with our vouchers. We even went back to the Kunsthistorisches museum and was told the same thing. Very disappointed that we had to run around and was not given what was advertised/promised.
You could easily spend a few hours here. Amazing.
lots to see at this history museum. good way to spend a hot morning in Vienna; combination of different types of artefacts to see
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.
