The Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum – KHM) is housed in Ringstraße. It opened in 1891 at the same time as Naturhistorisches Museum. These two museums had identical exteriors. They were commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary to showcase Hasburgs’ formidable collection and make them accessible to the public.
