Albertina Museum

About

The Albertina Museum in Vienna is renowned for its exceptional breadth of art, offering visitors a journey through 600 years of art history. Its most celebrated treasure is the Graphic Art Collection, one of the world’s largest, featuring over one million drawings and prints by masters such as Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Rubens, Klimt, Schiele, and Picasso. Highlights include Dürer’s famous “Field Hare” and “Hands Folded in Prayer,” though these works are displayed only during special exhibitions due to their sensitivity to light. The museum’s permanent exhibition, “Monet to Picasso,” showcases the Batliner Collection, a remarkable assembly of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Modernist masterpieces. Visitors can admire works by Monet, Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Matisse, Kandinsky, Chagall, Modigliani, Miró, and Picasso, among others. The museum also features themed galleries devoted to German Expressionism, Russian avant-garde, and Austrian art, including pieces by Kokoschka and Schiele. In addition to its art collections, the Albertina allows exploration of the lavish Habsburg state rooms, offering a glimpse into imperial Vienna’s grandeur.
