Kunsthistorisches in the PM

The Kunsthistorisches Museum is known for its many paintings by the Renaissance masters. Also of interest to me were the historical artistic collections. These included ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine collections. (Alas, another museum was displaying a King Tut exhibit but I did not have time to visit it.) I always marvel at the abilities of these masters (of all these ages), but I am much more of a museum hound than anyone else in my family.

No photos from inside, but outside there was a cross-advertisement for the King Tut exhibit and some sort of soccer thingy they keep going on and on about. The 10 meter high statue is wearing the Austrian colors.
