From magnificent to overwhelming This museum shows in a unique way what we humans are capable of when artists and patrons join forces to unleash creativity into lasting values. Across the centuries, the works can speak to us as if we had experienced the mood or the scene ourselves, it has been rendered so vividly. In any case, be sure to keep your energy up and also enjoy a coffee under the dome.

Great value combo ticket for the art and natural History museum which are directly opposite each other in the museum quarter. Really enjoyed both museums. Must stop by the cafe in the art museum for coffee and cake (try the apple strudel and cream). You'll be hard pushed to find a more beautiful setting anywhere in Vienna. So much to see in both museums so allow yourself a good 2-3 hours per museum. Enjoy.

From the moment you step inside, it takes your breathe away. This is the coolest museum I've seen, and it's upkeep is extraordinary! The landscaping out front is stunning, and not one spec of dust can be seen inside. The price is great, it is absolutely worth a visit!

The museum is a magnificent building, with an extraordinary collection of paintings and works of art. You need at least half a day to fully appreciate everything in it. The museum's café was exquisite, with a charming atmosphere and beautiful décor.

It was efficient and allowed to access that jewel that the Kunsthistorisches Museum is. Avoiding the hussle of not knowing if we could or notvgetvtickets for the oreferred time helps enormously to enjoy our Vienna program.

I'm not giving 5 stars to Headout, but rather to the accommodating staff at the Museum of Fine Arts, who simply printed out a ticket for us even though we missed our time slot.

Step into the grandeur of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, home to the priceless treasures of the Habsburgs.

Marvel at Bruegel’s Hunters in the Snow, ancient Egyptian mummies, and the exquisite Kunstkammer, featuring intricate goldsmith masterpieces.

Wander through galleries filled with Renaissance and Baroque art, explore ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, and see coins spanning over 2,500 years.

Upgrade for skip-the-line access and a guided tour through the museum’s highlights for a more efficient and enriching experience.

Choose the Leopold Museum or the Imperial Treasury Vienna combo to save both time and money, with both museums offering deeper insights into Austria's history and culture.

It was efficient and allowed to access that jewel that the Kunsthistorisches Museum is. Avoiding the hussle of not knowing if we could or notvgetvtickets for the oreferred time helps enormously to enjoy our Vienna program.

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.
