48 | V O Y A G E R Every Viking journey invites discovery. Whether you are exploring modern art at Vienna's MuseumsQuartier or strolling through sun-drenched Arles—once the home of Vincent Van Gogh—each experience offers a deeper connection to your destination's art, culture and history. PLACES TOP 5 Art Destinations VIENNA Located at a cultural crossroads in Europe, Vienna has long attracted great names in philosophy, music and art. Its palatial Kunsthistorishes Museum boasts a world-class art collection amassed by the ruling Habsburg family. Gustav Klimt's paintings, including The Kiss, are displayed at the Belvedere Palace. If it is modern art you seek, head to the MuseumsQuartier. As well as Klimt, Vienna is home to treasures by Egon Schiele, Pieter Bruegel, Albrecht Dürer Hieronymus Bosch, and the early Stone Age Venus of Willendorf figure on display at the Naturhistorisches Museum.
