Albertina: The Highlight Among the Museums in Vienna

With over one million visitors (2018), the Albertina is one of the most important sights in Vienna.

The permanent collection of the Albertina is home to works of art by modern and contemporary painters and sculptures, from Monet and Degas to Picasso, Magritte, Miró, and Giacometti. It’s also home to drawings and sketches by Dürer, Michelangelo, Raphael, and famous Austrian artists Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt. There are also exhibitions on photography and architecture, plus temporary exhibits on a variety of themes. Aside from the artworks in the gallery, guests can explore the sumptuous State Rooms which were once home to Habsburg Archdukes and Archduchesses.

History

A collection that has its origins in the 18th century.

The name of the Albertina was officially given to the building in 1921, after the building and its art collection were given to the Republic of Austria after the dissolution of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and its monarchy. The collection is named after Duke Albert of Sachsen-Teschen who both lived in the building and was gifted a large part of the collection by a Genoese count in 1776. He developed the collection to trace the development of European art from the late Middle Ages onwards, and at the time of his death in 1822 the collection was made up of 14,000 drawings and around 200,000 graphic art prints. While the majority of guests enjoy the recent additions of Impressionist and modern art, it’s the collection of sketches and prints that really forms the foundation of the gallery.
