Unbelievable. One of the most impressive museums I have ever seen. The marble Chambers where the artefacts are on display are absolutely beautiful. The lighting is perfect and the history just flows from room to room. Really reasonably priced when you purchase a kombi ticket with kunsthistorisches museum and the imperial treasury. Well worth a visit!

Out of the nearly 70 countries I've been to, this is the most impressive museum I've ever visited. The architecture inside is amazing in itself, and the apple strudel and coffee are delicious. The curation of the exhibits is absolutely magnificent-- the Egyptian exhibit in particular is beyond special. When you enter, you feel like you're actually in an Egyptian tomb. There's even a small pyramid you can enter! Their collection of artifacts in the Egyptian and Roman exhibits alone are impressive, and their painting collection is something else. The special exhibit Around the World in 80 Coins was also very impressive, with a way larger collection than I would have expected!! Not to be missed if you're in Vienna. Buy tickets in advance so you can walk right in!

This impressive building is both an art gallery and a museum. I particularly enjoyed the large collection of “Old Masters” before visiting the Egyptology collection on the floor below. I spent longer than intended here as there was so much to see - all interesting and all well curated. The building is worth a visit in its own right, particularly the lounge restaurant which feels like a step back in time - the food is good as well.

if you’re thinking about visiting a museum in vienna, THIS IS THE ONE! the entrance is FREE for teenagers, €21 for adults. the interior is breath-taking, seriously. the rooms with paintings are beautiful, and i think i don’t even have to start with the incredible paintings stored there. i’d recommend getting an audio tour, they cost a very reasonable price, or at least get a paper plan of the museum with the most important info — it’s free in german and english at the entrance :). also, you can (and, well, have to) store your backpacks at the lockers but it’s free, same with the toilets. so, to end the review, if u’re here this is a must-see!

Really good museum cafe in fine surroundings. Reasonably priced lunch given the location. The one thing preventing 5 stars is that the interior design is clearly ripped off from Leeds Art Gallery cafe - shame on you Vienna!

This museum was filled with astonishing artifacts and art. For a history buff, this was an amazing experience. The second floor with the coin collectiom was closed. The staff in the café were also quite rude. Other than that a must visit in Vienna!

If you do only one thing in Vienna make sure its the Kunsthistorisches museum, its superb. Make sure you pick up a map as the museum is large. For me what was truly stunning was the Egyptian and eastern section. You will be blown away looking at the old artifacts. Surely up there with anything you will see in the museums in Egypt. The old master paintings will also take your breath away. Find a seat and just sit quietly looking at the paintings. One of the best museums we have been to.

Stands shoulder to shoulder with the Prado in Madrid and the National Gallery in London. Amazing survey of Western visual art from the Middle Ages through the Romantic Period. Egyptian collection is also fascinating and enlightening. Cafe is great for coffee & cake. Do not expect anything from late 19th C to present.

The Kunst Historic Museum (The Vienna Fine Arts Museum) is the largest and most significant fine arts museum in Vienna. It is located in a big beautiful building directly across from the Natural History Museum, which is housed in a similar building. The museum has lots of beautiful and historic art works, and all the explanations are in both German and English. If you like the fine arts, this is the museum to visit in Vienna.

An amazing collection of Old Masters paintings, that is surpassed by only a handful of other museums in Europe. As an added bonus, the Egyptian collection is quite good as well. An absolutely must see for anyone visiting Vienna.
