It belongs to a rare breed of museums that reveal the highest artistic achievements of mankind since ancient times. In Russia, the Museum named after. Pushkin. The art of Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome is combined here with a collection of paintings by Dutch, Italian, Flemish, and German masters from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The museum building itself is also noteworthy, opened in 1891 in conjunction with a “twin” museum, which houses a natural history museum.
1. The buildings for both museums are truly huge. Although each of them has only two floors, they look very impressive. 
2. Between the museums lies Maria Theresa Square with a monument to her, surrounded by a now closed Christmas market (it was January 4th, the grass was green, the bushes had recently been trimmed with fresh leaves). 
3. Upon entering the museum, we immediately find ourselves in the lobby, decorated with lush stucco paintings. 
4. Having quickly completed all the formalities, such as buying tickets and putting things in the cloakroom, we go out to the main staircase. On the landing of the stairs stands the sculpture “Theseus Killing the Centaur” by Antonio Canova.

12. Now it is occupied by a cafe, in the center there is a well, looking into the lower lobby. 
13. The side corridors are not inferior in splendor to the halls. 
14. The paintings on the vaults reminded me of the Hermitage. 
15. The second floor of the museum is completely devoted to painting. 
16. An enfilade of large halls along the perimeter is surrounded by a number of smaller ones. 
17. Paintings often hang in many rows; there are no captions for them. But there is an audio guide in Russian. 
18. There are also sculptures in the halls, but not often. 
19. Democrito Gandolfi, “Jacob and Rachel at the Well.” 
20. Caesar. 
Northern Italy was part of the Austrian Empire for a long time, so the museum has accumulated a huge number of works from almost all artistic styles of Italy - the early and High Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Caravaggism, vedata masters of the 18th century, etc. The naked bodies of curvaceous southern beauties could not miss to this post.
21. Correggio, “Io and Jupiter” (1530). 
22. Tintoretto, “Susanna and the Elders” (1555). 
23. Dirk de Quad van Ravesteen, "Rest of Venus."

33. Hell in the painting of David Reicart III. 
34. Luca Giordano, “Archangel Michael Overthrows the Rebellious Angels.” 
35. And this is not the Last Judgment, but “The Miracles of St. Ignatius of Loyola” by Rubens. 
36. In many paintings, the theme of physical rather than spiritual death can be seen. Skulls in the painting “Allegory of Vanity” by Antonio de Pereda. 
37. Maria von Oosterwijk, “Vanity of Vanities” (1668). The skull is depicted in a still life to enhance the feeling of the frailty of human life next to bouquets of flowers. 
38. Guido Cagnacci. "The Death of Cleopatra" (1658).

49. Here you can enjoy the fun of the early 20th century - stereo photographs. 
50. Next I will show pictures that were familiar to me before visiting the museum. This is Parmigianino's Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror (1524). 
51. Pieter Bruegel the Elder, “The Tower of Babel” (1563) is probably the most famous painting in this museum.

The Austrian capital with the affectionate name Vienna is associated primarily with the name of the “King of Waltzes” - Strauss, with the enchanting sounds of his music, with Viennese salons, with musical evenings and festivals. But it is also a city of ancient architectural monuments and wonderfully interesting museums, a visit to which leaves deep impressions. So, a list of the best museums in Vienna.
The largest art museum owes its appearance to the enlightened lover of painting and graphics, Duke Albert (1738-1822), who collected a huge collection of works of art by great masters of different eras. Today the museum contains in its collections over 900 thousand copies of graphic works, 50 thousand watercolor sketches and drawings by da Vinci, Rembrandt, Rubens, Santi, Durer, Picasso, Dali and many other famous artists. The Albertina Museum building itself can also be called a work of architectural art.
After reconstruction in 2003, a titanium slab (64 m) was installed above the entrance, which successfully complemented the appearance of the museum and became its modern symbol. The bronze monument to the founder of the museum, Duke Albert, sitting on a galloping horse is impressive. Now in Albertina there are permanent and temporary exhibitions in several showrooms, there is a solid library, a large reading room, and a souvenir shop. The permanent exhibitions feature works by Monet, Picasso, Renoir, Bacon and other brilliant artists.
To get a more complete picture of the artistic masterpieces, the museum provides an audio guide service (in many languages, including Russian).
Open every day from 10.00 to 18.00, on Wednesdays until 21.00.
The former summer residence of the imperial Habsburg dynasty is a magnificent park and palace ensemble, occupying an area 1.2 km long and 1 km wide. The majestic palace, containing 1441 rooms, was built according to the design of Johann von Erlach in the Austrian Baroque style, striking in its scale and pomp. The architect took the Palace of Versailles in Paris as a model. The adjacent park delights with its landscapes, the Palm House, Henrietta's Pavilion, marvelous fountains, a labyrinth in the spirit of pseudo-Roman ruins and the oldest zoo in Europe.
The ancient Botanical Garden (1753) deserves special attention - a real work of floristic art, with rare species of trees and shrubs. Today, of all the halls of the palace, only 40 belong to the museum, 190 are rented out to private owners. Traveling through the luxurious rooms, you can appreciate the degree of wealth of the Austrian emperors, see the history of the Habsburg family, whose representatives were born and died here, and abdicated the throne.
Over the years of the palace's existence, Charles IV, Franz I, Franz Joseph, and Maria Theresa lived in it. Napoleon's headquarters were once located here in several halls. Schönbrunn is a center of incredible beauty, luxury and dazzling wealth. Since 1992, the complex has been placed under UNESCO protection.
Not inferior to Schönbrunn in beauty and splendor is the architectural and landscape pearl of Vienna - another palace and park ensemble, Belvedere, which unites two luxurious palaces and a wonderful park. The Lower Palace was built earlier (1714-1716), and the Upper Palace - in 1722 by order of Prince Eugene of Savoy. Magnificent palaces became his residence, between which a beautiful park was laid out according to the design of the famous landscape designer Girard. Now in the Lower Palace there is a museum of Baroque and Middle Ages art with Marble, Mirror, Grotesque halls; with the Golden Cabinet.
Here the palace stables and greenhouse have been converted into exhibition halls. The Upper Palace houses the Belvedere Gallery, which captivates with the masterpieces of famous artists G. Klimt, E. Schiele, O. Kokoschka, G. Böckl and other Austrian painters. The original layout of the park's lawns and fountains is a real miracle of landscape design. The park between the palaces is a comfortable place for a relaxing holiday for parents with children, lovers and students preparing for exams. The grace of snow-white sculptures against the backdrop of the bright beauty of flowering trees and shrubs of the park, the sparkling splashes of fountains, the luxurious appearance of palaces, and the contents of museums leave the best memories of the Belvedere.
Open to the public: Upper Belvedere - 10.00-18.00, every day
Lower Belvedere - from 10.00 to 18.00, on Wednesdays - 10.00-21.00.
Belvedere Gallery
The Baroque palace and park complex Belvedere is a masterpiece of architecture and landscape design of the Austrian capital. The amazingly beautiful mansion was built in the 18th century and served as the summer residence of the great commander of his time - Prince Eugene of Savoy. The architectural landmark consists of the Lower and Upper Belvedere. Today, in the luxurious halls of the palace, there is a national gallery consisting of a collection of paintings by outstanding masters of the 19th-20th centuries. It contains works by Van Gogh, Renurard, Schiele, Monet, Kokoschka and many other great artists.
The museum displays not only artistic paintings, but also sculptures made of plaster, marble and wood. The interiors of the Golden, Marble and Mirror Halls of the Lower Belvedere are of particular interest. The walls and ceilings are painted with frescoes and decorated with bas-reliefs and statues. The main pride and pearls of the gallery are the iconic works of Gustav Klimt. His works fascinate viewers with deep motifs of radiant love passion for women.
For many of his works, the artist used real gold leaf, thanks to which he achieved a unique effect of perceiving the painting. Visitors to the gallery can see such famous paintings by G. Klimt as “The Kiss”, “Adam and Eve”, “Judith and the Head of Holofernes”, as well as “Portrait of Fritz Riedler”. The cost of visiting the Upper and Lower Belvedere is 22 euros. The gallery is open daily from 9:00 to 18:00. On Fridays the museum is open until 21:00.
Another magnificent palace in the Baroque style (1700) is a memory of previous generations of the noble Austrian family of the Princes of Liechtenstein, whose representatives collected various objects of art. The beginning was made by Charles I, who had a weakness for expensive furniture, exquisite jewelry made of gold, silver and precious stones. His descendants continued collecting for 4 centuries, accumulating during this time a large number of valuable rarities. They began to be exhibited for public viewing from 1805 until 1938.
Now the Liechtenstein Museum houses paintings by Italian, Flemish, Dutch, and Austrian masters of different eras and movements. Here are masterpieces by Rubens, Rembrandt, Raphael, Ricci. Unique examples of antique furniture, hunting weapons, ivory, bronze, and jewelry are presented. The pride of the museum is the Golden carriage, which was made for the ceremonial trips of Prince J. Wenzel, the 4th prince of the Liechtenstein family. Rococo decorations and virtuoso craftsmanship make the carriage a true work of art and a priceless treasure.
Every Friday the museum hosts public excursions with an audio guide; on other days you need to personally negotiate with the owners of the palace to get into it.
Address: Furstenqasse 1,1090 Vienna. Entrance – 20-25 euros.
In the Hofburg palace and park complex, which numbers 19 palaces, 18 different buildings, 2,600 rooms and halls, everything amazes with its grandeur and beauty. Here you can spend the whole day looking at architectural masterpieces in the Gothic, Baroque, Empire, and Renaissance styles and admiring the high artistic level of the architecture of past years. The first palace received its inhabitants already in 1279 under Leopold VI, but the Hofburg received the status of the winter residence of the Habsburgs in 1533, when new palaces, office premises, and a magnificent park appeared.
Each new emperor sought to complete something, to erect another new palace, and thus Vienna inherited a real architectural and park miracle. Today, on its 240 thousand sq. m. m there are several museums, administrative and government institutions, a congress center of international importance, a chapel, the Butterfly House and other institutions. The “Swiss Wing” is the oldest part of the complex in the form of a fortress, where guardsmen once served.
The luxurious apartments of the emperors are now a popular museum, where thousands of tourists come to admire the luxurious interiors of the halls, amazing dishes, wonderful antique furniture, and unique silverware. The decoration of 19 halls, bedrooms, and living rooms exactly corresponds to the authentic historical setting of the Habsburg era. There are especially many visitors to the chambers of the famous Princess Elizabeth (Sisi), beloved by the Austrians. In the Empress's halls, exhibits include her numerous luxurious dresses, stoles, other personal items, and gymnastic equipment.
A unique attraction of the Hofburg is the Demel cafe, where you can buy delicious specialty delicacies: Sachertorte, candied violets, chocolate “cat’s tongues,” etc. To enhance the 19th-century ambiance, the waitresses are dressed in dresses in the fashion of that time.
World Museum
The southern wing of the majestic Hofburg palace ensemble, which is one of the main architectural attractions of Vienna, houses the ethnological and anthropological museums. More than 250 thousand valuable artifacts have been collected for public viewing, embodying the historical, religious and cultural heritage of numerous peoples of Asia, Africa, America, Australia and Oceania.
It is noteworthy that the exhibits previously belonged to famous sailors, politicians, emperors and philanthropists. The basis of the museum fund is the collection collected by the famous traveler James Cook during his long-distance expeditions. Jewelry, weapons, armor, coins, dishes, clothing, and figurines are displayed in 14 halls. Also on display are religious objects, masks, manuscripts, jewelry, musical instruments and other historical items.
The only surviving headdress of the leader of the Aztec tribe in the world deserves special attention. This decoration consists of quetzal bird feathers, leather and more than a thousand precious stones. Open daily except Wednesday from 10:00 to 18:00 and until 21:00 (Friday). The entrance ticket price is 12 euros.
The round tower with thick walls houses a museum whose exhibits do not excite most visitors. This is a pathological museum where various physiological abnormalities of the human body are demonstrated. Presented here are freaks preserved in alcohol, the heads of various people (according to rumors, dead criminals), the lungs of smokers; amputated arms and legs; human organs affected by sexually transmitted diseases (about 4,000 exhibits in total). Despite their unpleasant appearance, these “masterpieces” are useful for people with bad habits to watch as an edification.
The museum received this name as an inheritance from the previous purpose of the 5-story tower, where patients with mental disabilities of varying degrees were previously kept. The fact that there were violent ones among them is evidenced by the massive doors and iron chains present in each of the 139 chambers. Among the grim exhibits is the head of the assassin of Empress Sisi.
Address: Spitalqasse 2, university campus.
Increasingly, on the walls of austere buildings in Vienna you can see bright, daring artistic paintings, striking in their originality and unusualness. The art of street art was developed from graffiti, but acquired a larger scale: the “canvases” of street artists occupy huge walls, facades, sections of roads and sidewalks. Works of street art reflect various subjects and carry deep meaning and ideas, which is why this art has become very popular.
The Vienna Street Art Gallery (2006) is a logical continuation of the development of this new type of artistic painting, where innovative artists have the opportunity to demonstrate their brilliant works to everyone. Public recognition and high ratings from visitors contributed to the expansion of the street art gallery space. She recently “moved” to a new location on the 1st floor of an old building (170 sq. m.). Regular exhibitions of artists from all over the world are held here, and seminars for the exchange of experience are organized. Visitors can expect interesting encounters with fantastic masterpieces of street art that make city life more fun and joyful.
Address: Stiqenqasse, 2/3.
Opening hours: Tue. – Friday – 12.00-18.00, Sat – 12.00-16.00, closed – Sun, Monday.
A unique residential building with amazing facades was built by the famous architect Friedrich Nundertwasser, who can be considered the Austrian Gaudi - their architectural creations are so similar in originality and expressiveness of execution. A striking example of the fantasy thinking of an architectural genius is the Nundertwasser House in Vienna. It is impossible not to notice: kaleidoscopically colored facades, the absence of the usual right angles and lines in the architecture of the building make this house an unrealistically beautiful fairy-tale object.
This avant-garde style was the fruit of the long creative quest of an extraordinary creator who studied impressionism, transautomatism and founded his own academy of creativity - Pintorarium. Believing that city dwellers were bored living in standard multi-storey boxes, he created a “cheerful” colorful house, with different levels of roofing and windows. The facades of each apartment are painted in different colors; round balconies with lacy railings are covered with ivy and climbing flowers. In some places, trees grow directly from the windows or on the roof - a synthesis of urbanism and wildlife, which, according to the architect, is what the city lacks.
In front of the entrance there is an unusual-looking fountain with an intricate design, laid out around it with mosaic wavy paving stones. 50 apartments are inhabited by residents, not all of whom can withstand the pilgrimage of tourists who come in droves to the famous architectural miracle. You can only view it from the outside, you cannot go inside.
A museum dedicated to the famous psychiatrist was opened in the house where he lived with his family for 47 years. The exhibitions illustrate the life, everyday life and medical practice of the great medical scientist. Freud's personal belongings, his study, a library with scientific literature on psychology, and objects of ancient art from his collection are presented here. The atmosphere of the reception room, study room, and waiting room is faithfully preserved, transporting those present to the era of Freud.
Address: st. Bergasse 19. Open to the public: 09.00-18.00 every day.
The magnificent building, decorated with carved sandstone tiles, with a 60-meter dome, houses a grandiose art museum with rich collections of paintings, ancient monuments, valuable archaeological relics and numismatic rarities. The museum's art gallery presents a huge number of artistic masterpieces by Bruegel, Dürer, Titian, Rubens, Veronese and many other classics of painting from different times, collected by generations of the Habsburgs.
During World War II, the museum building suffered significant damage, and it reopened only in 1959. The most valuable exhibits were hidden before the war, so the museum’s collections have been completely preserved. A visit to the museum is a journey through the wonderful world of art, which cannot leave anyone indifferent.

On the first floor located Kunstkamera, which displays all sorts of curious things such as music boxes, wind-up toys, etc. - this is the earliest cabinet of curiosities in central Europe; information about its organization dates back to 1550.

The exhibitions are very extensive. This is one of the richest museums in the world. Both of these buildings were built under the penultimate emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Joseph. It was he who decided to bring together all the scattered collections of the Habsburgs and put them on public display. After the collapse of the empire in 1918, all collections became the property of the Austrian Republic.
Building of the Art and History Museum on Maria Theresa Square is the twin building of the Natural History Museum. These two buildings stand opposite each other and are almost identical in architecture.
The interior of the Museum of Art History is also very good, one might say simply gorgeous.

Art of the Ancient World
The collection of Egyptian and Near Eastern treasures is considered one of the most significant in the world thanks to its representative collection of ancient Egyptian monuments from the period of the Old Kingdom (300 - c. 2270 BC). Sculptural portraits of pharaohs and high-ranking officials, animal sculptures, reliefs, stone and bronze figurines, amulets, jewelry, papyri, mummies, sarcophagi and other objects introduce us to the ancient civilization of the peoples of northeast Africa and Western Asia.

Kunstkammer in Vienna (Kunstkammer)
Kunstkammer of the Kunsthistorisches Museum is based on the ground floor of the main museum building on Maria Theresa Square. Please do not confuse it with the treasury of the Hofburg palace complex (Schatzkammer) located across the road.
Here are collected rarities from the former treasury and "Cabinet of Curiosities" of the Habsburg Dynasty. The collection is one of the largest cabinets of curiosities in the world and represents jewelry from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque eras.
Among other jewels, the famous salt shaker Benvenuto Cellini :
Benvenuto Cellini "Saliera". 1543 Gold, enamel. Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
An impressively sized tabletop figurine made of pure gold was listed in art history textbooks under the name “Saliera”, which in plain English means “salt shaker”. Unfortunately, for the last ten years this textbook masterpiece of the late Renaissance has not been exhibited for completely objective reasons. It all started when the figurine was stolen in May 2003. Straight from the museum and practically in broad daylight. Only after three years of fruitless searches did the Austrian police manage to discover the stolen jewel buried in the forest. Upon returning to the museum, the first thing the salt shaker went for was restoration. Meanwhile, the Kunstkamera itself was closed for repairs. As a result, the public got the opportunity to see Benvenuto Cellini’s creation again only now, almost ten years after the abduction.
Many halls are equipped with interactive screens where you can read about the exhibits in the hall in English and German. So, for example, some exhibits are accompanied by a tablet, by poking your finger into it you can find out the name and who each of the characters was.
Art Gallery
The art gallery presents countless masterpieces of Western art, including Raphael's Madonna in Green, portraits of infantines by Velazquez, works by Vermeer, Rubens, Rembrandt, Dürer, Titian, and Tintoretto. The museum has the world's largest collection of Bruegel paintings.
Tizian (1488-1576), 1554 Danae
Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) The 3 Graces, 1622
As well as amazing paintings by the Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo (Italian: Giuseppe Arcimboldo) a harbinger of surrealism, he painted these amazing allegories in the 1560s.
In 1891, the Kunsthistorisches Museum opened in Vienna. Although in fact it existed already in 1889.
Who designed it?
Huge and in the Renaissance style, it immediately became one of the calling cards of the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The museum, following the example of other similar institutions in Europe, was designed on the basis of royal collections of works of art. The building was designed and built by the most famous European architect Gottfried Semper.
He tried to introduce elements inherent to the Roman Empire into the interior of the buildings, which greatly pleased the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, who saw in this a hint of the continuity of the glory of the Holy Roman Empire.
Where is?
The Art Museum in Vienna is located on the square next to a beautiful well-kept park, and there is also a monument to the Empress.
The Habsburgs, starting in the fifteenth century, collected family portraits. In addition, many emperors of this monarchical dynasty bought paintings by the most famous artists of their time. When there was practically no place to fit the collection of paintings, the emperor came up with the idea of building a separate building to store the rarest works of art. Moreover, everyone will have the opportunity to see antique sculptures and other valuable exhibits collected over the centuries by the Habsburg dynasty. The paintings became available for public viewing under Maria Theresa.
Description
The museum building is truly grandiose. The triangle-shaped structure is crowned by a magnificent dome with a diameter of sixty meters. Inside there are ninety-one museum halls, not counting utility rooms. In front of the majestic and beautiful building there is a large, well-kept lawn, on which grow bushes, skillfully trimmed into the shape of circles, cylinders and the like.
They are scattered across the lawn, there is no clutter of greenery, which gives the space in front of the museum a very refined, elegant look. The large-scale building itself is worthy of admiration, let alone the art treasures collected in it.
Exhibits
The exhibits were transported to the Vienna Museum of Art History from other Habsburg treasuries. Thus, from the Kunstkamera, located in Prague Castle, some paintings collected by Emperor Rudolf II were transported to Vienna. Priceless canvases became the most picturesque exhibition of the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
The paintings collected by Archduke Ferdinand II were delivered from Ambras Castle. Leopold Wilhelm, as governor of the Southern Netherlands, bought paintings at an auction in Brussels. And over time, he collected the most extensive and meaningful collection of paintings by outstanding masters of painting - Rubens, Tintoretto, Titian, Van Eyck and others. The Museum of Art History brought famous paintings and other works from many castles, palaces, and art galleries belonging to the Habsburgs.
The Austrians were able to preserve their priceless treasures during the First and Second World Wars. The museum exhibits expropriated in 1918 were transferred to the state. The building of the Museum of Art History suffered especially badly during the Second World War. However, the residents of Vienna were able to take care of amazing works of art. They prudently removed and hid priceless treasures of world culture immediately before the start of the war. The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna reopened decades after the end of World War II, in 1959.
Ancient exhibits and the Egyptian hall
Its exhibits are extremely ancient; these are not only paintings from the Renaissance, but also ancient works of art, whose age has reached four thousand years. For example, a head sculpture that was found during excavations in Giza about a hundred years ago.
It is believed that it was made during the reign of Pharaoh Cheops. By the way, the museum has a large hall dedicated to Egyptian themes. It is equipped like an ancient Egyptian temple. This hall contains rare treasures that witnessed the era of the pharaohs.
Exhibits of antiquity
The museum also houses exhibits from antiquity. This is a Roman copy of the sculpture of Aristotle's head, a copy of the Greek original of the sculpture "Aphrodite and Eros". The famous bas-relief cameo “Gemma Augusta” made of onyx and many other artistic values of Hellenic and ancient Roman cultures.
Exhibits of jewelry art
In addition to ancient paintings, the museum houses samples of famous jewelry masters. For example, the works of the Italian genius whose works were very prestigious to give to representatives of the royal dynasties of Europe in the sixteenth century.
One of these works - a salt shaker depicting Neptune and Ceres - can be seen in one of the halls of the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum. The exquisite and delicate work of the famous jeweler is simply priceless. There are also luxurious items by other famous masters. Lapis lazuli bowl by Gasparo Miseroni, a late sixteenth-century masterpiece.
Ivory exhibits
One of the museum halls contains ivory items. Among the many exhibits, the sculpture “Apollo and Daphne” by Jacob Auer, dating from 1688, especially stands out. Bone carving especially flourished in Vienna and was a fashionable activity during the reign of Emperor Leopold I.
Therefore, his bust is located in this thematic room. There is also a bust of the young Marie Antoinette, the French queen who was beheaded on the scaffold, like most aristocrats, during the Revolution.
Art gallery and numismatic hall
And yet the basis, the core of the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum is the art gallery. If we remember all the most famous European artists of all times, then half of their works, undoubtedly, are in this museum. The art gallery has several, so to speak, sections.
