Albertina
Museum / Vienna
The Albertina museums profile and focus rest on three pillars: First, the palace with its neoclassical staterooms and their original interior decoration; second, the operation of a modern museum housing seven principal collections; and, third, the exhibition program based on these collections and devoted to the pioneers of art history, from the Renaissance to the present day.
With the museum’s assumption of the Batliner Collection, 2007 saw the Albertina museum put works on permanent exhibit for the first time in its history. These holdings offer visitors an instructive tour through the world of modern painting, from French impressionism to Picasso, that is unique in Austria. With its contemporary works, the Batliner Collection complements the large contemporary art section of the Albertina museums Graphic Arts Collection, which is comprised of 26,000 drawings and prints.
