KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM

AUSTRIA

Housed in its festive palatial building on Ringstraße, the Kunsthistorisches Museum was opened in 1891. Crowned with an octagonal dome that is 60 meters high, the museum features eight collections ranging from a collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities, Imperial Armoruy and the Kunstkammer Wien. The lavish interior of the building houses the collections of the Habsburg emperors and archdukes from ancient Egypt and Greece to the late 18th century.
