"Explore Vienna's premier art museum The Habsburgs were, generally speaking, lovers of art and many of the works of the Kunsthistorisches Museum come from their collections. While the grandiose interior alone may be reason enough to visit, the collections here are outstanding. The Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection, Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities and Coin Library are just a few of the collections to get lost inside. The Picture Gallery includes works by Albrecht Dürer, Jan van Eyck, Pieter Brueghel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens."

This is the most impressive museum I’ve ever been inside. It’s clearly built to house great works of art, and it does a spectacular job of it. The Peter Brueghel collection alone was great, but through in works from ancient Egypt through the Greek and Roman Empires and you have an amazing collection. Seeing treasured items from our past is a special treat. If you are in Vienna, don’t miss this place.

Great collection of ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek and Roman artefacts. Worth admission just for that. If you like Baroque artworks and ornaments then this collection must be unrivalled. The building is gorgeous as well. My only gripes were the cafe closed early for a private function and 2 out of 3 men’s toilet cubicles were out of service in the loo I visited.

The best museum in Vienna!!! Definitely get a map because you will get lost! It's so big and has many rooms of different art and artifacts!! Has some nice tables to eat and drink because you might need more energy!Statues, coins, jewellery, stones, mummies, paintings, everything I tell you! You also need at least 3 hours to fully see it!! Best 21 euros spent!! Worth every cent!

Wonderful Egyptian collection. You can spend hours and hours there. An impressive place. Just make sure u get there early enough to visit without running in stress, as the museum is closing on the weekends at 6 pm. Check opening hours before buying a ticket.

Gorgeous museum! Worth the money even to just see the amazing building, but the huge number of unique art pieces makes it a must. Included in Vienna Pass, highly recommend. Keep in mind that it may take you several hours to see everything, especially if you want to read the provided info.

This museum is definitely worth a visit. The art collection is magnificent. The Brueghel collection alone is mesmerizing and there are many others to enjoy. The audio guide was also very satisfactory with its rich contents. The Egyptian artifact collection was is nice as well.

I have no words to describe this amazing place. It was huge and we couldn't finish to see all in 5 hours(no joke). I finally met Caravaggio's art pieces (🤍) You can buy tickets online, it's easier that way so you don't have to wait for ticket line.

It had art that I'd only seen in books before. The thing I really liked was it has a lot of seating in the rooms so I could just sit and enjoy the art. Wasn't crowded at all. I bought my tickets with my phone while waiting in line for tickets, then just went right in. They honored my daughter's student discount. Great experience.
