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.

Disappointing
MikiBrussels Belgium,,Jan 4, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00I visited this for the third time, however for the first time during winter. Why is this important ? Because opposite to any similar establishement in Europe the ticket desks are outside in the park, people queue up (30 minutes) in the cold (or in the rain), ticket vending machines on inside are not functioning. Yes, you can buy on-line, but e.g. for that I would have needed the credit card code generator of the bank, and this was not with me. Ticket price is 24€. The collection is comparable to Alte Pinakothek in Munnich (9€), Royal Museum of FIne Arts Brussels (10€), and much poorer than the Louvre (22€), and compared to these it has no free entrance time. So you have to queue up for tickets, for the garderobe (the number of lockers is far not enough), for the toilet, for the inner restaurant, thus you loose a lot of time. So in spite of the relatively nice collection, the experience is disappointing
Ok

3.00Did not help us skip any line. Waited in the line only to get to check in and told that we had to go back outside and get paper tickets. Our vouchers did not count as tickets. So waited in three lines.

1.00Wire Cut tickets give you the right to queue at a dedicated booth but with lots of people. So useless

5.00Another purpose built musuem, just as nice as the NHM. This one contains the hasburgs collections. If you are into this stuff as well as the artworks on the second floor, it is at least a 3/4 day event. Queues for tickets can be long, you can buy it online for quicker access.
Management missing

3.00Unreasonable checked in, because the online ticket code doesn’t work, I have to change the another code to ticket center, that was unreasonable. Management was messing. There was no clear notice for that.

Art History

5.00Incredible collection of art and artefacts in a spectacular old building. Although there were a lot of people in, it didn't feel overcrowded. Audio guides and maps available in English. Buy advance tickets and get there early. Leave coats and bags in the atelier (free). Unfortunately, the queue for the Rotunda Cafe was massive when we were there so that's a treat for another time.
Superb museum

5.00Superb museum & really interesting. Took 3.5 hours to walk around. Thoroughly enjoyed it & highly recommend this for any visit to Vienna.
NOT a ticket just a voucher

- Review from Viator
5.00You do not skip a line, you have to get in line. Because what you get from Viator is only a voucher. Then, you have to wait in line. To exchange the voucher for a ticket. Just buy a ticket at window, the lines are the same length
