This exciting tour, led by art historian Jan Kepinski, takes you through the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM), Vienna's Art History Museum, with a special focus on Pieter Bruegel the Elder, one of the 16th century's most celebrated painters.

Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna
This tour takes you through the Kunsthistorisches Museum's world-class Old Masters collection, with a special focus on its outstanding Flemish paintings. Beyond Bruegel — whose collection here is the largest in the world — you'll encounter works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, Titian, Velázquez, Raphael, Dürer, and Caravaggio, tracing the artists who shaped the course of art history.
We'll explore the historical and socio-political context behind these paintings, along with the techniques that made them revolutionary — all inside one of the grandest buildings in Vienna. Completed in 1891 under Emperor Franz Joseph, the museum's Neo-Renaissance palace mirrors its twin, the Natural History Museum, across Maria-Theresien-Platz. Its domed entrance hall is a masterpiece in its own right: marble columns, gold leaf, and allegorical murals — including early work by a young Gustav Klimt.
