About Museum of Fine Arts

The Vienna Museum of Fine Arts is the largest art museum in Austria. It is located in the Innere Stadt of Vienna. The museum was founded by the Habsburg emperor Francis I in 1801 as the Imperial Museum of Fine Arts. The museum was originally located in the Imperial Palace, but since 1989 it has been housed in the former Baroque palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy. The museum has a collection of around 70,000 objects, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints. The collection is particularly strong in Italian and Dutch art from the 15th to the 18th centuries. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm. Admission is €10.
