Our fondest memory of visiting the Albertina Museum was watching a professor teaching his students about Pablo Picasso’s work, “Woman in a Green Hat,” 1947. In the middle of the painting is an “eye.” He pointed out where ever one went, that “eye” would follow you. We focused on seeing the Batliner Collection with works from Monet, Degas and Renoir to name a few artists. The museum is actually famous for its collection of sketches and etchings. We liked the fact that pictures without “flash” are approved. Having a Monet painting on your computer monitor is a superb way to remember the moments. The museum, Albertina, is named after the combination of two individuals: Albert of Saxony and his wife, Maria Christina. At one time it was a residence turned into a palace. Damage from WWII bombings eventually forced a total refurbishment. We found the steps outside going down/up to be painted in various colors. In our case, it was painted in the flag for the LGBTQ community, Picasso and Monet paintings. It does change depending on the season. There are actually two museums. The one we went to was near Burggarten on Albertinaplatz 1. Not far is “Albertina Modern” near “Karlsplatz.” If you found this review “helpful” in any way, please press “Thumbs-up” to let me know.

Not to be missed among Vienna Museums. Beautiful building, a very nice art collection, at present with a special one of a private owner. Really amazing number of great paintings from famous artist and from different phases.

Really fantastic art museum, a definite highlight of our Vienna trip! I’ve been to lots of art museums, and this one is up there with the MET in my opinion. Although it’s small, the exhibits are very thoughtfully put together and the artworks themselves are stunning. I really loved how almost every single piece had commentary in German and English, and you could tell someone wrote both in their native languages - there were no translation errors. Also really enjoyed the palace section of the museum and seeing all the rooms put together. Don’t miss the rabbit, it’s hidden back in that section!

One of the nicest and beautiful museums that I visited. It has a combination of an extravaganza palace and an art museum, house for important artists. Each room is decorated in different colours and furnitures. The paintings and scalp tires by Michael Angelo, Monet, Picasso and others are remarkable.

There is some very good art here and of course I was especially appreciative of the Monet pieces. Overall, the collections were OK. After having spent a lot of time in the Museums of Paris, Amsterdam and Florence, we were not as wowed as anticipated but that could just be us now getting a little jaded. The quality of art here is still very good. the building (yet another Habsburg palace) of course is fantastic.

Artists, their works are often a critics of society. A mirror of some past times. Like journalists or writters make their story, a nivel, so do painters. But even deeply, more dramatically. because they don't use words. But forms, of colors... the rest is done in viewers head and hart. A museum is well maintained, all painitngs have English script beside as well. Nice and interesting. It is attached to Hofbzrg complex and the building held many aristocratis important protocols. And after the visit, you can jump to a city park besides, or for a sacher caje over the street.

Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to. We were visiting friends there but did a lot of sightseeing too. Started with the Hop on Hop off bus to get our bearings, and then the next day went to Albertina museum, which was incredible. So many fabulous pieces all in one place, spent hours there. The did a walking tour with our friend to get a local's view.

The density & Quality of the Art one can experience is amazing and to a degree overwhelming. To help visitors to better immerse Albertina is offering classic public Tours as well as handheld devices that will provide context and insight to most of the Art Objects. Both my family and I have used and both do a decent job to bring you closer to the wonders of the Art Objects. However this time we booked a personal Tour. It was an amazing experience for myself and my family ranging from 17 to 84. We could pick the theme of the Tour. Should it be Michelangelo and his impact? Should it be the Impressionism? Should it be a specific Artis and how he has evolved and developed. You book this a bit ahead of time and share your ideas as well as the duration. It is 60 min or 90 min Tour. What made the experience so amazing was that next to to be expected deep Expertise and Knowledge of the Guid you are not any longer part of a Tour…you are part of a conversation, exchange of thoughts and question a true immersion in the topic you have chosen, expertly guided and orchestrated by your guide. If you want to be more laid back and listen the guid will adjust and move to lecture mode. If you however are interested in engaging bringing your own question and ideas into the conversation the guide will create one of the most wonderful Art Immersions. A safe environment will be created where there are no stupid questions. It does not matter if you are an Arts Pro who want to sharpen his knowledge or a newbie that just wants to learn a bit more about this specific Art Theme. Very different from the Museum Tours we all may have experienced in the past in one or the other Museum. The passion and energy of the Tour guide l for Arts will be very visible through the tour. So if you want to have this amazing experience at the Albertina in Vienna - just use the email address on their Web Site and engage.

An excellent museum devoted to fine art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum is not very large, but there are detailed explanations in English for almost all paintings and for all artists. This is one of the best museums I've ever been in.

We enjoyed a 5 day city break in Vienna. So many beautiful places to visit it is difficult to choose. On our last day we decided to visit the Albertina. What a great choice, so glad we did, a beautiful former palace to explore plus a huge fabulous art collection. Impressionists, Picasso, Kandinsky, Money, Matisse to name but a few. Don’t miss. The Albertina is a Must Visit!
