Kunsthistorische Museum (Fine Arts)

The Hapsburgs were to the arts of the 18th C what the Medici's were to the renaissance. This museum was built to house the immense collection, although much of the excess has had to be rehoused in the Hofburg and Schloss Schonbrunn palaces. The collections include works by Raphael, Rembrandt and Ruebens as well as some very important Egyptian and oriental pieces. Open Tues-Sun 10am-6pm, (9pm Thu), admission €9.
