Expert Led Private Tour of Kunsthistorisches Museum with Admission Tickets

 

The immense Kunsthistorisches Museum stands as one of the great art collections in the world. This museum tour is designed as an overview or "crash course,” with time spent in several of the major collections. One particular focus will be the picture gallery, featuring 16th and 17th century paintings from Venice, the Netherlands, and Germany and including masters such as Titian, Vermeer, van Eyck, and Dürer. Inspired by the masterpieces hanging before us, we’ll take an aesthetics approach, discussing the visible differences between northern and southern European painting styles. We’ll also look at how and why the ruling Habsburgs collected certain works and will cast our imaginations outwards to reflect on the collection’s greater symbolism for imperial Austria.
