El museu d'art més gran d'Àustria va obrir les portes el 1891 en un edifici palatí de la Ringstrasse, dissenyat per Gottfried Semper i Karl von Hasenauer, just davant del seu bessó, el Natural History Museum, a l'altre costat de Maria-Theresien-Platz. Alberga les col·leccions imperials dels Habsburg: una Picture Gallery amb el conjunt d'obres de Pieter Bruegel the Elder més important del món, acompanyat de peces de Rafael, Ticià, Vermeer, Rubens i Velázquez; la Kunstkammer, que acull la cèlebre Saliera de Cellini; a més d'antiguitats egípcies, del Pròxim Orient, gregues i romanes. El cafè situat sota la majestuosa cúpula és, per si mateix, un espectacle visual imprescindible.
