Liked the Caravaggio, Arcimboldo, Tiziano, Raphael. Disappointed very little English in Egyptian and Greek sections as nicely displayed. Automata section fascinating. Shame a reproduction not shown working. Gallery costs 14 euro.

Whenever I am in Vienna I go to the KHM to drool over the Brueghels. Now I have a new reason, the Kunstkammer, reopened this year after 11 years of being closed, as much as anything because there was not enough money to finance its reopening to the public. This exhibition is an absolute knock-out, better in my view than...

This museum is impressive and that is something since Vienna is full of amazing museums and sights. This museum deserves a visit and should be in your to do list for sure.
First the building is amazing. It is part of the Hofburg complex therefore the interiors are interesting.
The pieces of art go from the Ancient Egypt to the...

Could not fine ANY disadvantages. The museum building is most beautiful and user friendly. Almost every room has big comfortable sofas for better viewing comfort. Very suitable for children, elderly and disabled. Amazing art collection. Kunstkammer is also a must to see. Do not forget to pay a visit to the museum cafe, probably the most beautiful cafe in the...

Fabulous museum with some great paintings--we had only one afternoon here and went for the Brueghels, Bosches, Rembrandts. The Vermeer was a surprise and highlight. Will return.
The museum is huge and require a full day to be visited without rushing. Some areas can be seen very quickly, so you have more time to stop where the main valuable painter are. Use a map to locate the masterpiece and not miss any. Caravaggio, Brugel, Arcimboldo, Tiziano, Velazques, Bosch, Rubens, Durer. Go to the website of the museum...

I am not a big fan of heavily gilt, marble excess, but my husband was examining it closely and then I saw the fresco work that I would have missed and we sat in the cafe and enjoyed it's space as well. Way too much to see for one visit, so we concentrated on the Dutch/Flemish/German works and missed the...

A wonderful experience but you could spend a lifetime there. The guards are not too helpful and there are steps without railing which I find terrifying, but one guard actually walked me down this huge marble staircase. Could I ever see too many Reubens? maybe, here.It is a GRAND museum in the grand style and so well worth a visit.
Our only regret in this visit was being too tired after walking the city center to completely see the painting, sculptures and art that is on display in this monumental building. The building in itself is a work of art and it could take days to fully view and appreciate everything that is there.
very nice museum located in a impressive building with an incredible egyptian collection and, not to be missed: the recently new opened "kunstkammer" !
