Worth the time to visit this fine museum. We spent a rainy morning wondering through the master pieces.

One of the finest art collections in the world. Lighting so-so, presentation sometimes poor, interpretation erratic. Apart form that, unmissable and surprisingly quiet - the entrance fee puts off the punters. Cafe good but expensive.

This place is perhaps the most beautiful museum, in terms of both collection and interior architecture I have ever seen and Ive been in lots of museums around the world. Their collection of fine art is first rate, but they have an Egyptian section that is second to none. Usually you have to go to a natural history museum to... More

Be sure to rent the audio guide if you want to get the most out a visit to this museum. It will take at least a full day for a summary view. Well worth a visit.

My wife and I went for the Renaissance paintings. It is an unbelievable collection and certainly one of our two or three most memorable experiences in Vienna. Be careful, though. Be very careful about the floor you choose. We went from the ground floor to the next floor expecting to be on the "1st floor" where the paintings are. Nope.... More

The Egyptian and Roman collection was nice as well as the gold treasure from Nagyszentmiklós. I really did not like the baroque "treasures" from austrian art.

I've all of the major European art museums. This one is truly great because they have a great collection of art, the audio guide explanations are brilliant (so are the written explanations (they are in English). Also the building is amazingly beautiful. Go for the paintings, go for the objet d'art, go for the Egyptian antiquities. Just go. (photo's are... More
