UNBELIEVABLY cool museum. why do y'all have ten Rembrandt just sitting there FIRST of all…read more not going to lie to you, special exhibit on coins or whateva was very small. two display cases. but that's chill lowk. Other special exhibit on those landscape painters was awesome, no-brainer to have those works of Vienna in Vienna are you kidding? phenomenal work team. 10/10 on that one, notes and explanations very informative and explanatory (as they should be) main collection - breathtaking ngl. room after room of masterworks (that ive seen before! ) and had no idea that were here. enormous religious works to chiaroscuro tea and dutch floral still lives and Velasquez Hapsburg portraits and actually good interesting vanitas that isn't just pandering wannabe goth slop yes yes yes. fire. there was one painting of a guy made entirely of fish and that really made my day. good job guys. the organization of the main collection was a little bit crazy but it's completely fine, honestly added to the awe of it all kunstkammer or whatever the fuh the royals' own art collection was genuinely amazing if you guys were forced to pick a floor of this place to save from a fire it better be this one. unfortunately on par/better than the painting collection sorry if that's potentially explosive and controversial. architecture fire and tea, decor excellent roman/greek/egyptian I did NOT get to see because of the closing time... my fault I got there at three mb mb mb . . . . . return that stuff to Egypt tho y'all why is a sarcophagus on the Danube anyways 10.5/10 if you miss this you better not ever forgive yourself

We purchased skip-the-line tickets via Viator and rented the self-guided audio headsets (I think they were around $5 each, maybe a little more). The collection of art is beautiful, spanning many different periods. Their most famous piece is Klimt's The Kiss. I'll be honest -- I didn't know much about Gustav Klimt before, but after seeing his work, I'm now a big fan. After touring the art museum, stroll through the vast gardens. They are beautiful, both in the front and back.

The "Monet to Picasso" exhibit is well-curated and you'll definitely enjoy their collection. The special exhibit they had during my visit was a modern art one, which isn't much my interest but definitely a change from their regular exhibits. Additionally, the museum has staterooms from the old Habsburg days. If you only have time for one small museum in Vienna, this one would be a very good choice.

I did not know he was such a narcissistic twat until he went off to WWI and was humbled and matured by the soldiers he met. He really loved his wife, Edith, though who's to say if he would have stayed faithful if they both lived to old age. I had no idea he died at age 28, and he and his wife died within days of each other, and he died on Halloween 1918. There's a painting by Klimt I wanted to see, Death and Life, but unfortunately two of their floors were closed for some renovations, so I was disappointed that I was unable to view it during my visit to Vienna.

The Hunderwasser movement and style was totally new to me, but I got a detailed and beautiful look at the history.

I thought the crowns and the various ceremony attire displayed were the most interesting of the items. The museum also contains several religious relics as well. I had the multi-museum pass, so that was the main reason why I came. While I thought this was an interesting visit, if you're pressed for time, you can skip this one.

There are several different museums within the Hofburg complex, all of which are close to each…read moreother but require separate admissions. This was one of them. It seemed like it might be interesting, and online photos play up the 'crown jewels' type aspects. I bought tickets online. This was not one where you had a timed entry, so it had some flexibility. I don't recall if they required you to check backpacks, as we left ours at the hotel that day due to another associated museum's prohibition on them. My verdict on this was that it was not as interesting as I'd hoped. Their breakdown is roughly: 20% crowns, swords, and jewels. 25% religious items like reliquaries. 50% robes (coronation, etc.). 5% miscellaneous. By far, the most common thing you'll see are robes / clothes. They did have a good audio guide (for a nominal extra charge). But if I'd known exactly what to expect, I don't think I'd have come here. It depends on what you are personally interested in, of course. However, given that most trips have a limited time budget, I think I'd have spent that time at some other museum / attraction instead. We spent about an hour touring the whole place, which was not small.

After visiting Mozarthaus, I enjoyed a long walk exploring Vienna and walking all the way to visit here. Walking through Sigmund Freud's apartments and office where he practiced felt clinical, which made sense, given his line of work. When I told the guy working at the ticket counter I was a student and qualified for a student discount, he asked me for my age. Rude, you don't ask a lady for her age.
