The Kunsthistorisches Museum is an art museum located in Vienna, Austria. Founded in 1891, it is one of the largest and most important art museums in Europe. The museum houses a remarkable collection of art from antiquity to the present, including an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is comprised of two main buildings: the main building, which was constructed in 1891, and the Neue Burg, which was built in the early 20th century. The main building contains a large collection of art from antiquity, including Greek and Roman sculptures, Egyptian and Near Eastern antiquities, and a large collection of Renaissance art. The Neue Burg houses a large collection of European art, ranging from the Renaissance to the 19th century, as well as a large collection of coins and medals.
The museum also holds a large collection of modern and contemporary art, which is held in the Kunsthalle Wien, located in the same building as the Kunsthistorisches Museum. The collection includes works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock.
