What To Expect

Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna

Built by Emperor Franz Joseph to house the splendid imperial collections, it is now one of the world’s most important museums. Artefacts from ancient Egypt to classical antiquity to the late 18th century document the patronage and connoisseurship of the art-loving members of the House of Habsburg. In the Picture Gallery you can see celebrated master-pieces by Rubens, Rembrandt, Raphael, Vermeer, Velázquez, Titian and Durer, as well as the world’s largest collection of works by Bruegel. At the Kunstkammer Vienna goldsmith’s works such as the famous saliera by Benvenuto Cellini, sculptural masterpieces, filigree works in ivory, valuable timepieces and complex automata by the best and most famous artists of the day – each item unique in the world – provide an unrivalled cross-section through the history of art. Equally enjoyable for every art-lover is the magnificent building itself with its imposing staircase featuring a series of paintings on which Gustav Klimt collaborated.

Had Trouble with Admission to Museum

I was unaware that the document I printed out after paying online for admission through TripAdvisor was not two tickets but merely a voucher for tickets. So after standing in a very long line to get into the museum, when I finally got inside and presented it I was told that they couldn’t scan the bar code, and I needed to go back outside and stand in another long line at one of the two ticket booths. And then, after finally getting to the front of that line, I was informed that I should have gone to the other booth, which handled vouchers. I would have gone there to begin with, had I known that what I had was a voucher and not an admission ticket. It would have been very helpful if that were printed on it instead of “Entrance Ticket.”
Fantastic architecture

Calculate a couple of three hours in this museum. Great exhibits, the Egyptian was our favorite. The building itself is absolutely fantastic, and worth a visit in itself! Visit the cafe and eat apple struddel and coffee in historic surroundings.
There is no skip the line

Tickets are misleading, there is no skip the line available, you have to queue. What’s more you have to queue twice, once to change your Viator ticket for a museum ticket and then again to enter the museum. Just get a ticket there, it’s cheaper and and easier
Bad.

I didn't like it. I bought the tickets, but they were after all vouchers. They didn't send us to the email. I never got to be answered the message requesting help from the operator. I ended up losing this money and having to buy directly at the museum. Don't buy around here. There is no skip the line
Stupid organisation !

Stupid experience! When you want to "Skip the line" they send you back to the Ticket Office. They say it's not valid from....com!

Scam! There is actually a LONGER line to redeem this voucher, which costs more than a simple digital ticket at the entrance. Avoid at all costs

It was easy to get in. We even changed our date of visit for one day earlier, we just asked if we could enter day earlier at ticket office, and after checking they let us in. The museum is great, one visit is not enough to see everything in it. It is breathtaking experince.
Viator did not help at all this time. The museum is worth seeing, but no need to go through Viator.

“Skip the line” was misleading because the thing we purchased from Viator was actually a voucher, not a ticket. We still had to wait in a line and we did not save a bit of time because of the time we wasted in line to go in and then finding out we were not in possession of tickets, we had to find a line separate from the line to buy tickets to get our vouchers exchanged for tickets. Our friends who had not purchased anything from Viator got in at the same time we did with less hassle.

The voucher will allow you to skip the normal line. You will need to first exchange the ticket with the voucher office. It would be better to purchase the ticket online directly with the official site
