Kunsthistorisches Museum is translated as Museum of Art History, but it’s also often called Museum of Fine Arts. It is situated in a beautiful historical building, which looks like a palace and has a characteristic octogonal dome in the middle section of its roof (right above the main entrance to the museum).
You can see the dome and the central part of the roof of Kunsthistorisches Museum on the picture above.
