Museum of Art History Vienna

It also boasts an extensive library.

ART AND OBJECTS FROM SEVEN MILLENNIA

Discover the best that culture has to offer during your stay in Vienna, just a stone’s throw from the Hotel Sacher. A magnificent range of collections of objects spanning seven millennia, from Ancient Egyptian times to the end of the 18th century, await you in the The Museum of Art History at the Maria Theresia Square in Vienna.

Many of the objects on display come from the extensive collections of the Habsburg dynasty, who passed this priceless cultural legacy on to the public.
