O maior museu de arte da Áustria abriu as portas em 1891, instalado num imponente palácio da Ringstrasse projetado por Gottfried Semper e Karl von Hasenauer, frente ao seu gémeo, o Natural History Museum, do outro lado da Maria-Theresien-Platz. O espaço reúne as coleções imperiais dos Habsburgos: uma galeria de pintura com o maior acervo mundial de obras de Pieter Bruegel the Elder, lado a lado com Rafael, Ticiano, Vermeer, Rubens e Velázquez; a Kunstkammer com o famoso Saleiro de Cellini; além de antiguidades egípcias, do Próximo Oriente, gregas e romanas. O café sob a monumental cúpula é, por si só, uma atração imperdível.
