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

The sweeping staircase is stunning - marble, gold, frescoed ceiling. We went to the picture gallery, upstairs. It's full of paintings by the European old masters. The modernists are more my thing, but this was lovely to see and in a beautiful setting too. Highly recommend for fans of baroque, renaissance, and late gothic art. We bought a few things in the gift shop and wandered off for more Vienna sightseeing.

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.

We were there in November so the flowers weren't in bloom, but I am sure that in the summertime the colors are magnificent. The gardens are free to the public and have been since 1780. This was an absolutely beautiful palace and a truly unique experience. A UNESCO World Heritage site that's known for its Baroque Grandeur. We purchased tickets to both the upper and lower houses to view the extensive art collections. If you like Gustav Klimt, this is where you will be able to see his most famous work The Kiss as well as some of his other paintings. It also houses paintings from Monet, and Van Gogh a magnificent Rodin sculpture.

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.

When he saw it, he liked it too. Out popped the phone and off he wandered to take pictures. There is a small covered shopping area, sort of like a mall. You walk in and there are several small shops around a central bar. Some of the shops have an upstairs, so be sure to check everything out! Hubs isn't much of a shopper, so he got a drink at the bar while waiting for me to finish souvenir hunting before joining him. We each had a drink and I picked up some postcards. The bartender wasn't very talkative, but he was friendly and nice. The shops all carry different stuff, but each is quirky and artsy in it's own way....everything fits in in this area. A worthwhile stop, in my opinion, especially if you are looking for something a little different than all the renaissance and Victorian historical stuff. 52/2025

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.

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.
