Overview

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. The KHM holds the largest Bruegel collection in the world — roughly a third of his surviving paintings.

Beyond Bruegel, we'll take in the museum's other icons: Raphael's Madonna of the Meadow, Titian's Venetian masterpieces, Velázquez's royal Habsburg portraits, Vermeer's The Art of Painting, Rembrandt's self-portraits, Dürer, Caravaggio, Correggio, Rubens, and Arcimboldo's astonishing composite heads.

Jan is an art historian, a state-licensed Austria Guide, and a master storyteller. The tour suits newcomers seeking an introduction to art history just as well as seasoned Bruegel enthusiasts.

You will leave with a rich understanding of art across the Renaissance and Baroque, set against the backdrop of one of the finest museums in the world.

What's Included

  • The tour is guided by an Art Historian and state licensed Austria guide.
  • Entries to the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Standard entry is 18 EUR per person (2022).

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.
