Kunsthistorisches's huge building houses many of the incredible art collections gathered by the Hapsburgs as they added new states to their empire.
An incredible collection of ancient Egyptian and Greek art is housed here. Works on display also include pieces by the great masters Velásquez and Titian. The Rembrandt collection includes two remarkable self-portraits, as well as a moving portrait of his mother and one of his sons, Titus. You will also find works by Roger van der Weyden, including his Crucifixion Triptych, a Memling altarpiece. You will further find Jan van Eyck's portrait of Cardinal Albergati. The museum is incredibly well-known for the works of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Be on the lookout for a particular work of Van Dyck, Venus in the Forge of Vulcan, as well as Peter Paul Rubens's Self-Portrait and Woman with a Cape.
