GETTIN’ ARTSY IN VIENNA – WE INTRODUCE YOU TO THE KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM

The Kunsthistorisches Museum introduces itself. A real eye-catcher both inside and outside. The museum was built as a home for the artworks of the Habsburg Family. Because we are always visiting, it already feels like our second home – we just get along really well with the residents. Mr. Caravaggio from the first floor for example is super charming and Vermeer with his Dutch accent… just hilarious. In the meantime, we have also become such good friends with Mr. Rubens that he has even revealed the secrets of his masterpieces to us. Come on our highlight tour and we’ll be happy to show you around.

Available dates: 

SUNDAY, April 2, 2023: 14:00 PM (2h tour)
WEDNESDAY, April 5, 2023: 11:00 AM (2h tour)

COSTS: 30€ per person payable directly to Rebel Tours via the booking process

Registration is accomplished by completion and submission of the registration form, which may be done at any time prior to the end of November. Registration is confirmed by payment of the registration fee. The registration fee must be paid until 13 January 2023 unless specific permission for later payment has been given by the Directors of the Moot.
