Here are some photos of an unforgettable day in the **magnificient** Kunsthistorisches (Fine Art) Museum of Vienna. The museums we visited in Vienna have been the most amazing museums after Louvre in Paris!... We are sharing some of the many photos we took there... It can never be the same as seeing the real thing, but, hopefully you would still enjoy them. :-)
The museum had 5 sections, consisting of:
- Egyptian and near eastern collection
- Collection of greek and roman antiquities
- Collection of sculpture and decorative arts
- Picture Gallery
- Coin Cabinet
So, here we go...
(ps: remember to double click on the photos if you want to view them on full size...)
