The Albertina Museum is where Vienna’s imperial legacy meets a powerhouse of European art. Sitting atop one of the last remaining sections of the city’s old fortress wall, this former Habsburg palace is now home to a vast collection of modern, contemporary, and classical masterpieces. From the moment you step inside, you're walking through centuries of art history in a setting once graced by Archduchess Marie-Christine, favorite daughter of Empress Maria Theresia.
Originally founded by Duke Albert of Saxony-Teschen in the 18th century, the museum’s collection boasts over one million prints and more than 60,000 drawings. Among the most famous: Albrecht Dürer’s Hare and Praying Hands, Rubens’ charming child studies, and works by Cézanne, Klimt, Kokoschka, Schiele, Picasso, and Rauschenberg. These rotate frequently, so no two visits are exactly the same.
Don’t miss the permanent exhibition Monet to Picasso, which takes you through the last 130 years of art movements - from French Impressionism to Russian Avant-Garde. Stand in front of Monet’s Water Lily Pond, admire Renoir’s Girl, and lose yourself in Degas’ Dancers.
While you're here, take a detour into the beautifully preserved staterooms. Once occupied by Habsburg royalty, these rooms are decked out in soft yellows, rich greens, and turquoise blues - some still furnished with original pieces. Intricate parquet floors and gilded carvings complete the opulence. It's included in your ticket, and well worth the time.
Want to see what’s happening in the world of contemporary art? Just a short stroll from the main building, Albertina Modern awaits inside the Künstlerhaus. With over 60,000 works by 5,000 artists, this space is dedicated to post-1945 and contemporary art. From large-scale installations to cutting-edge media, it’s a dynamic complement to the historic palace experience.
Classic or contemporary, imperial or innovative. The Albertina shows Vienna at its most cultured and creative.
