But not only the art work is in a league of their own, also its architecture and interior - e.g. Gustav Klimt created parts of the mural paintings - wich makes KHM a must-visit!

The Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities displays perfect effigies of the human body - a lot of them after Antinoos, the beloved companion of Emporer Hadrian - the most portraied human in the history of mankind and the last mortal to be deified by emporer and senate who found a considerable amount of adorers in both parts of the Roman Empire.
