Kunsthistorisches Museum

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Kunsthistorisches Museum

Art gallery in Vienna, Austria. The gallery is particularly rich in early Netherlandish and Dutch, Flemish, and Venetian works. Of special note are paintings by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Giorgione's Three Philosophers, Titian's Ecce Homo, and Tintoretto's Susanna and the Elders.

It was originally the Imperial Gallery formed by Ferdinand I, brother of Charles V. All the imperial collections were regrouped in the museum under its present title 1891 and a further regrouping was completed 1936, making the picture section comparable with the Louvre in Paris, National Gallery in London, or Prado in Madrid.
