Our new art education programme: travel through time and space in the realm of the arts!
Regular special guided tours for up to nine persons will be available from June. Unusual and surprising topics will guide our way through the Picture Gallery, and on weekends also the Egyptian and Oriental Collection as well as the Kunstkammer – prepare to be stunned! It is of course also possible to book private tours for up to nine persons.
Beethoven moves
From 29. September we will show the big autumn exhibition Beethoven Moves in the Kunsthistorisches Museum. This unusual homage to Ludwig van Beethoven displays the influence of the great composer on art and cultural history far beyond music. Beethoven's work inspires, touches, overwhelms and moves us all to this day. Jasper Sharp, one of the curators of the exhibition, gives a short, exciting insight about what to expect in the show.
Artist masks from the museum
Two artists have designed face masks especially for the Kunsthistorisches Museum, finding inspiration from the Old Masters.
