Christine LoJanuary 23, 2016Fantastic! One of the most beautiful museums on par with Sistine Chapel. Klimt's foyer is a true art highlight. Amazing collection of works. Rip off cafe w terrible €20 schnitzel so bring a sandwich.
Petros AOctober 27, 2015Beautiful building with a large art collection! Only drawback? They missed adding info in English at the Roman and Greek section.

Spiros TheocharisJuly 17, 2015A very interesting museum which invites you to spend a whole day in there watching paintings and Ancient Greek and Egyptian artifacts. I tried the Viennese hot chocolate. It was a Delight.
AnaïsSeptember 23, 2016Amazing museum to visit, with a coffee in the middle of the palace. Be careful tho: the shop is only accessible from inside the museum, you can't go there without a ticket
Ben MorrowOctober 14, 2016Lots of neat art from various times and places. Habsburg treasures form the really unique collection. The automatons are pretty neat (videos of them in action are available to view).
Ahmet SahinOctober 26, 2012You can buy combined ticket for 18 euro to visit both this museum and neur borg museum.Building is amazing,dont miss egypt part!!Also you can try the cafe inside the museum with the amazing ambiance
ViennaInfoNovember 4, 2014Only 28 penises can be seen in the entire picture gallery. Learn interesting, amazing and bizarre facts about the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien and 150 years of the Ringstrasse here: Read more
Michael LaineNovember 1, 2012Ask for a reservation for the restaurant as soon as you get there... Seating may take a while, so wander the museum while you wait. Return on time. This buffet is 39€! And worth every cent!
Anastasios IoannidisDecember 1, 2018The exhibits are amazing... Especially the Greek and roman .... But the museum should make it easier for visitors to understand what they see... The explanations are only in German...
Olga D.May 23, 2015Worth to visit, there is one of the best collection in Europe. Rembrandt, Durer, Titian, both Breigel, etc.
Johannes LeVoleurJune 11, 2016Astonishing architecture. Vast collections. Prepare to spend hours there. Do get an audio guide. If you get tired, you can always rest at the cafe.
Vitalik D.December 22, 2014You're not going to regret spending 1 day in this fabulous museum. Collection of paintings is remarkable. You'll also see gorgeous Klimt's wall paintings
Nina BellarosaJanuary 4, 2015The Loincloth of Christ, and piece of tablecloth from the last supper alone are worth coming here for!!! Amazing!
Louise SutherlandSeptember 29, 2014The Egyptology collection is world class & the Egyptian style salons in which the collection is displayed are stunning
Lulu DaviesSeptember 3, 2017The Austrian decor collection is a must see, I'm amazed especially by the old style clocks, the crystal decorations and the interior.
Andrew KJanuary 4, 2020Amazing museum! The only bad thing - bad audio guide support (it covers not all marked items).
"Kunstkammer" (literally "Chamber of Art") reopened after 11 years of restauration on March 1st, 2013; by now you need an extra ticket to book your time slot
Tatjana ZavadjaJanuary 5, 2018Skip the first floor and start from the second with some of the most famous paintings. Bar on the second floor is amazing but gets crowded during the lunch time. Leave your stuff in the lockers.
Emily LOctober 26, 2015WOW breathtaking building architecture, pretty good art collection and organization
Lewin Higgins-GreenMay 22, 2017Fantastic museum with a great selection. Good audio guides. Don't forget €1 for the lockers to leave a bag!
Yue (Valerie) HuangJune 28, 2013Simply wonderful. But they put the masterpieces in smaller rooms and in corners! Make sure you find them! (Vermeer, Jan van Dyck, Raphael...)
Anouk StraalmanFebruary 11, 2018More art than we could ever expect! Huge collection of different artists.
viktorAugust 23, 2017THE Art Museum. Really like a medium size city inside. Half a day minimum required for a visit.
