What you'll see
One of the world's great art museums in a domed palace on the Ring: rooms of Bruegel, Vermeer, Rubens and Titian, Egyptian and Greek treasures, and a café under the dome.
A brief history
It was built in the 1880s to show off the Habsburgs' collections, opposite an identical building for natural history. It holds the largest group of Bruegel paintings anywhere.
