Dom Museum Wien

Vienna’s Dom Museum Wien presents 1,000 years of art history - just next door to St. Stephen’s Cathedral

The collections of Dom Museum Wien in the heart of Vienna‘s historic city center are unique: the historic treasures of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, avant-garde classics from the legendary Otto Mauer Collection, and contemporary art make for an inspiring visit. The contemporary architectural redesign of the historic palace that features direct views of Vienna‘s landmark, St. Stephen‘s Cathedral, allows for an exciting juxtaposition of old and new. Upon entering the museum, with its large glass façade portal, a round glass elevator, encircled by an elegant winding staircase, takes visitors upstairs to the exhibition galleries, where, among other things, the oldest portrait of the Western World awaits: that of Hapsburg ruler Rudolf IV, from the 14th century. If you want to see all this and much more, you can look forward to a 20% discount on the regular admission price with your EasyCityPass Vienna.
