The Museum of Art History – Kunsthistorisches Museum – in Vienna is considered one of the top Museums in the World.
Placed in the center of Vienna, right in Ringstrasse, the Museum is an architectural wonder on its own, with its beautiful front and octagonal dome. Built as a twin of the Natural History Museum, placed right opposite from it, it’s part of one of the most beautiful architectural landscapes of a town full of architectural beauty.
It’s housed one of the best art collections in the world since its inauguration in 1891, the collection belonging to the Austrian Emperors, one of the oldest, richest and most powerful monarchies in Europe at that time. It’ll be well worth the trip and the ticket – unless you ‘re lucky to get one of the free days or a free showing of one of their collections. It’s also incredibly easy to get there, as it’s a mere 5 minute walk from the heart of the town. It can be the crowning jewel of an art aficionado’s trip to Vienna, but be sure to book your flight early enough as flights to Vienna tend to sell out quickly around Spring and Summer.
