ALBERTINA
HISTORY MEETS MODERNISM
Located in Vienna, the Albertina is the largest Habsburg
residential palace. It blends an imperial flair with unrivalled
masterpieces of art.. The historical setting of this internationally
acclaimed modern museum makes a visit to the Albertina
an unforgettable experience. The city’s largest residential
Habsburg palace boasts 21 beautifully furnished staterooms,
making it one of the most exquisite classical palaces
in the whole of Europe.
Since it reopened in 2003, the Albertina has presented
an impressive number of exhibitions, showing foremost
works of art dating from the 15th century to the present
day. With its special “Albrecht Dürer”, “Picasso” and
“Van Gogh” exhibitions, the Albertina has drawn a record
number of visitors during the past few years. The Albertina
is one of Austria’s most popular museums, making it
a major attraction for city visitors and cultural travelers
from all over the world.
THE HABSBURG STATE ROOMS
The exquisite state rooms take you back in time to the
splendours of Classicism, while the elaborate façade bears
testimony to the eminent role of the palace and the high
social standing of its former owners, the Hapsburg family.
The highlight of any visit to the Albertina is a tour
of the recently renovated and refurbished staterooms.
Here the visitor obtains a first-hand insight into the
breathtaking splendor and elegance of the Habsburg monarchy.
The palace, presented as a gift to Duke Albert and his
wife Marie Christine – Maria Theresia’s favorite daughter
– was built between 1745 and 1747 and extended between
1801 and 1805.
The 21 Habsburg state rooms are spread over two floors
of the palace. The Hall of the Muses forms an imposing
centerpiece, flanked on either side by stately apartments.
Admire and enjoy the charm of their exquisite furniture
and elaborate inlaid parquet floors, works of Joseph Danhauser,
the famous Viennese craftsman.
MASTERWORKS OF MODERN ART –
THE ALBERTINA COLLECTION
The recently opened permanent exhibition Masterworks
of Modern Art covers more than 100 years of art history
and its major developments – from classical modern art
right up to the works of contemporary artists.
The permanent exhibition with paintings, pastels and gouaches
by Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne, Toulouse-Lautrec and
Signac centers around the French impressionists. A further
section focuses on German expressionist painting, revolving
around artists of “Die Brücke" and “Der Blaue Reiter"
groups. The surrealist movement is represented by various
works of Joan Miró, Max Ernst and René Magritte. Late
works by Picasso and works by Jean Dubuffet, Lucio Fontana
and Mark Rothko hail in the 20th century. Contemporary
artists such as Gerhard Richter and Alex Katz round off
the exhibition.
