After a few years of expansion and renovation, Vienna’s city museum at Karlsplatz reopened to the public in late-2023. With more exhibition space, their permanent exhibition about the city’s origins and evolution over the past millennium is free to the public; there’s now even more room for temporary exhibitions. The city’s history including art, architecture, and archaeology are some of my sweet spots, and I’m more than happy to spend a few afternoons exploring their permanent exhibition: an obvious advantage of an extended stay.

Six floors: permanent exhibition on the ground floor, 1st floor, and 2nd floor; temporary exhibitions on the top or 4th floor.
One of my favourite paintings is about bold colour, intensity, and defiance. “Dame in Gelb” (Lady in Yellow), by Max Kurzweil, 1899. Wien Museum permanent exhibition.Museum entrance.
