Museum of Fine Arts, {CATEGORY}

Across from Hofburg Palace, this huge building houses many of the fabulous art collections gathered by the Habsburgs as they added new territories to their empire. One highlight is the fine collection of ancient Egyptian and Greek art. The museum also has works by many of the great European masters, such as Velásquez and Titian. On display here are Roger van der Weyden's Crucifixion triptych, a Memling altarpiece, and Jan van Eyck's portrait of Cardinal Albergati. The museum is renowned for the works of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, known for his sensitive yet vigorous landscapes and lively studies of peasant life. Don't leave without a glimpse of Bruegel's Children's Games and his Hunters in the Snow, one of his most celebrated works. Don't miss the work of Van Dyck, especially his Venus in the Forge of Vulcan, or Peter Paul Rubens's Self-Portrait and Woman with a Cape, for which he is said to have used the face of his second wife, Helen Fourment. The Rembrandt collection includes two remarkable self-portraits as well as a moving portrait of his mother and one of his sons, Titus. A highlight of any trip to Vienna is the museum's Albrecht Dürer collection. The Renaissance German painter and engraver (1471-1528) is known for his innovative art and his painstakingly detailed workmanship. Blue Madonna is here, as are some of his landscapes, such as Martyrdom of 10,000 Christians.
