Everything went great! Quick entry, a great atmosphere, and a wonderful place. The atmosphere in the museum is inspiring and invites you to enjoy the artwork at your own pace and immerse yourself in the history of art! The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece that captivates visitors with its magnificent facade and impressive interiors.

Overall, the museum itself was impressive. The exterior and interior architecture was beautiful, and the standard exhibits were wonderful. I learned a lot about the history of Europe through the artwork. We also ate lunch at the cafe, which was a great experience, with good food and wonderful service. A few items prevented the review from reaching five stars. First, the entry experience was somewhat frustrating, as the voucher line was very slow. It would be better to get tickets directly to skip this line. Second, several of the rooms had no English, so we did not understand the context. Finally, the special coin exhibit was very limited or possibly closed. I would highly recommend this museum, and some small improvements would make it perfect.

The museum visit far exceeded all expectations: the architectural beauty of the palace, the variety and quality of the paintings on display, the scope of the exhibition itself, the informative audio guide narration, the vast collection of ancient artifacts on the lower floors—sculptures and mummies—the quality of the café in its unique location beneath the central dome, as well as the cleanliness of the restrooms—all made for an unforgettable day spent inside, allowing us to admire and appreciate every detail.

It was great to finally visit and admire fantastic collection of Schatzkammer. It was also great opportunity to enjoy famous paintings of Rubens, Rembrandt, Bruegel. With great pleasure I visited temporary exhibition to watch works of Canaletto and Bellotto. Thanks to combo-ticket I paid less than if I bought two separate tickets :) Vistor from Poland - Henryk

Lovely museum to visit. Easy to access.

Explore the Kunsthistorisches Museum, one of Vienna's top art institutions, with flexible options. Enjoy skip-the-line access, opt for a small-group guided tour for a personalized experience, or choose the Leopold Museum combo for a deeper dive into Vienna's art scene.

Getting started

The museum is located on Maria-Theresien-Platz, with the main entrance at the front of the building, facing the square, with clear signs to guide you inside. If you've selected the guided tour option, meet your English-speaking guide at the entrance at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time. Your guide will give a brief orientation and ensure that you're ready to bypass the queues with skip-the-line access, so you can head straight into the museum.

A world of imperial treasures & Habsburg heritage

Wander through the grand halls of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, home to celebrated Renaissance and Baroque works by Caravaggio, Titian, and Velázquez. Marvel at their stunning array of royal artifacts that showcase the wealth and power of the Habsburg dynasty. Admire beautifully crafted goldsmith work, regal jewelry, and other opulent pieces that once belonged to emperors and empresses.

The museum also boasts a renowned Egyptian collection, where mummies, sarcophagi, and sacred objects reveal the rituals, beliefs, and artistic legacy of ancient Egypt. Lastly, the Kunstkammer houses a treasure trove of intricate mechanical wonders, including astronomical instruments and ornate clocks.

If you’ve selected the Leopold Museum option, your experience continues with a visit to one of Vienna’s leading modern art museums, home to Austrian Expressionism and key works by Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt.

What to bring
