Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum (Art History Museum) features a curated collection that spans across five millennia, from Ancient Egypt to the late eighteenth century. Commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I in the late 1800s, the museum was created to showcase the Habsburgs' art collection to the public. Its renowned Picture Gallery features works by legendary masters, including Durer, Raphael, Titian, Tintoretto, Rubens, Velazquez, Rembrandt, and Vermeer.
