Vienna may be one of Europe’s smaller capitals, but it’s rich with culture. One day of museum-hopping can take you from a former palace housing one of the world’s most significant artworks to the contemporary art galleries of the MuseumsQuartier.
Kunsthistorisches Museum
Despite the museum is excellent, it is rarely overcrowded with visitors. If you visit at the right time, you can still be alone with Caravaggio. You can have a little dialogue with some of the biggest masterpieces. You can also take part in the museum’s mystery hunt－an adult treasure hunt through the Egyptian-Oriental collection.
Wien Museum
The first generation of the Wien Museum was an exhibition at Vienna City Hall in the late 19th century. The exhibition stayed there for over 70 years until the main building was established in 1959. Since then, the museum has rapidly spread to 22 locations around the city. Entry to the Wien Museum’s many locations is free for teenagers and children.
Belvedere Museum
The Belvedere Museum is spread across several buildings, including two Baroque summer palaces that were built in the early 18th century. Between them are wide, landscaped gardens where visitors can jog, bike and simply wander. The entire complex (建筑群) is home to one of the most famous paintings in the world: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.
ZOOM Children’s Museum
The museum is located in the MuseumsQuartier. ZOOM includes an ocean-themed room for kids to play in, with a water mattress, colourful objects and a tunnel of mirrors; a studio where they can play with art supplies that would create a terrifying mess for their parents at home; and a room where little guests can make animated films and sounds.
