Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum)
The Fine Arts Museum across from the Hofburg Palace houses many
of the art collections gathered by the Habsburgs and is one of the
foremost museums of fine arts and decorative arts in the world. The
magnificent building is crowned with a 197-foot (60m) high dome,
while the inside is sumptuously decorated with marble, gold leaf
and stucco ornaments, a fitting home to the formidable artistic
treasures collected over the centuries. The collections range from
Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman relics to medieval art, and
Renaissance and Baroque paintings. The museum faces the Natural
History Museum across the Maria-Theresian Platz, which has an
identical exterior.
