The Museum of Fine Arts building is located at Wiener Reintegrates, at the opposite side of the Undernourishment Museum. The interior of the Constructionist’s Museum, signed by Karl non Hastener, is spectacular, with large marble columns, monumental staircases and statues. The huge collection of the museum was amassed by the Hapsburg monarchs, and hence is a reflection of their personal tastes. The Gemlike, the collection of paintings, is one of the largest in the world and spans an era from the 15th to the 18th century.
Especially well represented are Flemish artists. Dutch, Italian (mainly Venetian) and Spanish artists are also well represented. The museum also has an excellent collection Of German paintings from artists such as Albrecht Udder and Hans Holing the Younger. There’s more than just paintings in the Constructionist’s Museum though. On the ground floor are Roman and Greek antiquities; here you’ll find a large number of statues and busts from Roman emperors as well as Greek vases and statues.
One of the museum’s most important objects, the Ceiling Salt Cellar sculpture by Benevolent Ceiling, was stolen on May 11, 2003 and recovered on January 21, 2006, in a box buried in a forest near the town of Sweetly, Austria, It had been the biggest art theft in Austrian history One tooth best times to visit the Constructionist’s Museum is Thursday, when you can enjoy a sumptuous gourmet dinner (?39) in the cupola rotunda..
This museum is the museum for you if you like to enjoy different types of art over different areas of time, I love Egyptian art and this museum does a thorough and beautiful exhibit on Egyptian pieces of art. If you do not speak German I cannot recommend the audiogram enough – at G each me and my partner shared ending up getting a lot more out of the exhibits as all of the little signs with information are in German. The audiogram Vass easy to use, descriptive and interesting.
