tips & insights
Shortcoming
Unlike in the Louvre, British, Louvre, and Met museums, many objects in the Kunsthistorisches Museum are not displayed as well as they should be.
When
to come
Peak summer and holiday periods bring tour-group crowds. You'll have less competition for space if you come in the early morning or late afternoon. Or visit Thursday evenings.
