The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna offers a dedicated app that allows visitors to easily glimpse beneath the surface of artworks and behind the scenes of the museum. Visitors learn surprising facts about topics that fascinate us today as much as they did people of the past. Visitors can choose from tours through the collections, exploring changing ideals of beauty, magical powers, or everyday life in earlier centuries. Visitors can also get involved themselves, for example, melting the snow on Bruegel's Winter Landscape, composing their own still life, or sending a floral tribute to their loved ones.
The low-threshold approach is inclusive and offers new experiences for young and old alike. Tours are also available in German, English, Turkish, and B/K/S (Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian).
The tour Yesterday’s news?! There are exhibits on the current climate crisis for adults and children – so young and old can explore the museum together and discuss what they have learned.
The latest tour, Different together! – With Blob through the museum, introduces children ages 8 and up to the colorful world of art and shows what diversity can mean. Along the way, they can learn new languages, pass laws, or design their own exhibition featuring works of art from around the world. In doing so, they are encouraged to think about the topic of diversity in a playful way.
