Must-see Artworks
The Batliner Collection The ALBERTINA Museum houses the Batliner Collection, which is one of Europe’s most important compilations of Modernist art and one of the world’s most important collections of modernist painting in existence today. Entrusted to the museum as a permanent loan in 2007, this collection realizes a dream of creating an instructional journey through modernist painting from Impressionism to Picasso. The permanent display starts off with such artists of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism as Degas, Cézanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Gauguin, and features significant works including Claude Monet’s View of Vétheuil from 1881 and Paul Signac’s Venice, The Pink Cloud from 1909.

Historical Overview
The ALBERTINA Museum’s history is rooted in the private collection of Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, who began assembling graphic arts in 1776. In 1919, the collection and the palace were taken over by the Republic of Austria. Since 2000, the museum has shifted from a specialized graphic arts collection to a broader "indivisibility of art" doctrine, integrating drawings with various artistic media. A major milestone occurred in 2007 when the museum began its first permanent exhibition of modern paintings through the Batliner Collection, featuring masterpieces from French Impressionism to Picasso. Today, the museum operates across three locations: the main Palace, ALBERTINA MODERN (since 2020), and ALBERTINA KLOSTERNEUBURG.
Architecture
The ALBERTINA is uniquely positioned as a "Janus-faced" institution, functioning as both a Habsburg residence and a modern museum. The complex features authentically re-furnished State Rooms that showcase the princely lifestyle of the former palace, contrasted with large-scale, modern exhibition halls designed for modernist and contemporary paintings.
