The art-history museum is the oldest public museum of Europe and is especially famous for its Brueghel and Rubens collections. It is the huge domes of the buildings that make the art-history and the scientific-history museums unique.

The staircase alone is very impressive, greeting the visitor with stairs made of colourful marble and splendid plastics and pictures. On the first floor, in the Dome Hall you find precious plastics. Moreover, there are famous painting galleries which include the exhibits of extraordinary artists. Parmigianino, Van Eyck, Bosch, Brueghel, Rubens, Rembrandt and Vermeer to mention just a few. The Secondary Gallery is located on the second floor and presents 600 pieces of art of the schools and the environments of famous artists. Especially interesting as well are the specific collections like the Egyptian and Antique collections as well as the "Kunstkammer" and the "Muenzkabinett".

I had to straighten it a bit due to the circumstance that I put the cam on the hedge you can see on the bottom :o)
