Największe muzeum sztuki w Austrii otwarto w 1891 roku we wspaniałym gmachu przy Ringstrasse, zaprojektowanym przez Gottfrieda Sempera i Karla von Hasenauera, naprzeciw bliźniaczego Muzeum Historii Naturalnej przy Maria-Theresien-Platz. Kryje ono cesarskie zbiory Habsburgów: Galerię Obrazów z największą na świecie kolekcją dzieł Pietera Bruegla starszego, a także płótnami Rafaela, Tycjana, Vermeera, Rubensa i Velázqueza; Kunstkammer ze słynną Solniczką Celliniego (Saliera) oraz zabytki starożytnego Egiptu, Bliskiego Wschodu, Grecji i Rzymu. Zwieńczona kopułą kawiarnia stanowi atrakcję samą w sobie.
