Kunsthistoriches museum vienna - the kunstkammer vienna

The Kunstkammer Wien is the most important collection of its kind in the world. Since March 1, 2013 this unique collection is now again open to the public. Come and see a museum within the museum: twenty newly-installed galleries invite you to experience a world of beauty and wit, curiosities and wonder. The Kunst- und Wunderkammern (arts and natural wonders rooms) of the Renaissance and Baroque periods were encyclopaedic, universal collections that attempted to reflect the entire knowledge of the day. Particularly desirable were rare, curious and unusual objects.
