Museum halls

Museums in Vienna

A tour of the finest frames and a few well-timed chuckles. Choose a hall and mind the ropes.

Gallery 01

Belvedere

Baroque palace gardens plus a knockout collection of Austrian art—most famously Klimt. It feels like walking into a painting and then being politely reminded you are still mortal.

Prinz Eugen-Strasse 27, 1030 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 02

Albertina

One of the great print rooms on Earth, with blockbuster shows layered on top. The elegant rooms keep the vibe refined, even when your feet are quietly negotiating a truce.

Albertinaplatz 1, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 03

Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien

A Renaissance-and-Baroque heavyweight where the building itself is part of the collection. Think of it as a jewel box for old masters—only the jewel box is the size of a small empire.

Maria-Theresien-Platz, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 04

Leopold Museum

A deep dive into Austrian modernism—Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, and the whole Viennese mood swing. Clean galleries, sharp curating, and a lot of eyes that follow you around.

Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 05

mumok

Modern art, contemporary energy, and a building that looks like it means business. It is the place to go when you want Vienna to stop being polite and start being interesting.

Gallery 06

Vienna Secession

A temple of Viennese modernism with a golden dome and Klimt's Beethoven Frieze. Small in footprint, enormous in influence—like espresso for your art history brain.

Friedrichstrasse 12, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 07

MAK - Museum of Applied Arts

Design, craft, and the objects that quietly run the world. It is a reminder that Vienna's taste is not limited to paintings—it also extends to chairs, textiles, and typography.

Stubenring 5, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 08

Wien Museum

Vienna's city museum—art, history, and the evolving story of a place that has reinvented itself many times without losing its posture.

Karlsplatz 8, 1040 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 09

Kunst Haus Wien (Hundertwasser Museum)

Hundertwasser's colorful, anti-straight-line universe—part museum, part manifesto. If your eyes needed a vacation from beige, this is the perfect itinerary.

Untere Weissgerberstrasse 13, 1030 Vienna, Austria
Gallery 10

MuseumsQuartier Wien

A cultural village in former imperial stables—museums, courtyards, cafés, and people watching that counts as performance art. Come for the galleries, stay for the atmosphere.
