When I was in Vienna, Austria at the end of February, I had a visit on a damp Sunday morning to the Art History Museum (Kunsthistorisches). The museum is impressive in architecture with beautiful detail, marble floors, and archways. The museum has a huge collection of paintings, statues, and other items from throughout history. There is the gallery of paintings, Romans and Greek art and sculptures, Egyptian art and jewellery and statues and mummies, metalwork, ceramics, and much more. The museum also hosts the most picturesque setting for a cafe, and this in itself had a long queue.
The entrance hall is grand.
I first went to check out the art gallery.
The cafe, as seen from above, had a long queue, and it is a beautiful setting.
I looked at the artwork made of metals and glass.
I saw some old Roman coins and rings.
There was a large room with fragments of stonework and carvings from the Greek and Roman times.
The Egyptian room has a lot of sculptures, jewellery, mummies, and more.
There was so much to look at and so many beautiful items.
I enjoyed my visit to the gallery and wish I had stayed a little bit longer and enjoyed the cafe.
