About Albertina Museum
The Albertina Museum in Vienna is one of the most renowned art museums in Austria, combining centuries of art history with a focus on modern and contemporary works.
The museum is housed in a grand neoclassical palace which was originally a Habsburg residence (one of the noble and ruling families of Austria) and the museum has an extensive collection of drawings, prints, and photographs, making it one of the largest and most significant print rooms in the world.
The property itself was designed by Emperor Franz Joseph in the 19th century and is a blend of classical architecture and modern design. The museum’s entrance is a modern addition in the Soravia Wing, which contrasts with the palace's traditional facade.
