Description
The Kunsthistorisches Museum was erected in 1871–1891 according to the plans of Gottfried Semper and Carl von Hasenauer and is one of the most distinguished and impressive museum buildings of the 19th century. It was designed in the course of the Hofburg’s extension together with its ‘twin’, the Naturhistorisches Museum opposit and the Neue Burg at Heldenplatz.
