The Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (art museum Vienna) is one of the premier museums of fine arts and decorative arts in the world. The museum has an identical building opposite it, the Naturhistorisches Museum (science museum) and were both opened in 1891 by Emperor Franz Joseph I.
The main purpose of the museums were to house the collection of the Habsburgs…art and design at one and fossils, prehistoric artworks, even jewelries owned by the empresses on the other.
I unfortunately do not have the time yet to visit the displays at the museum, among the collections were of famous painters Dürer, Raphael and Michaelangelo.
Have a blessed week!
