The Vienna Museum of Art History opened its doors in 1891 and was inaugurated by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary. Much of its collection comes from the House of Habsburg. Its collection of Renaissance and Baroque musical instruments is considered the most important in the world. It also houses a large number of paintings by Pieter Brueghel the Elder and Titian. There are also important paintings by Velázquez, Rubens, Vermeer, Bosch and Arcimboldo, as well as the Saltcellar of Francis I of France by Benvenuto Cellini and a very large numismatic collection. The search in the catalogue can be filtered using a timeline or by selecting the type of object, medium, material, period, personality to which the object represents or is linked, and in alphabetical order.

The Mauritshuis owes its name to Count Johan Maurits (1604-1679), for whom the building was constructed in 1640. In the 19th century it was converted into a museum to house the Royal Cabinet of Paintings. Its collection is centred on paintings from the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), so it is possible to admire in its rooms works by Rembrandt, Jan Steen, Frans Hals and Vermeer, by whom the museum has three works, one of which is The Girl with the Pearl Earring. Searches can be filtered according to author, period, type of object, material or inventory number.
