"The Kunsthistorisches Museum, also known as the Museum of Fine Arts, is one of the largest and most important museums in the world, with collections that span five millennia and include works by renowned artists." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"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."

"Created by Emperor Franz Joseph I and housing much of the Habsburgs' former collection, the Kunsthistorisches Museum stunned me with its ornate interior—marble, gold leaf, and murals—and an incredible selection of artifacts from ancient Egypt and Greece to master painters like Rubens, Raphael, and Rembrandt; plan to spend several hours and buy tickets in advance." - Matthew Kepnes
