As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Austria. It boasts the leading and most valuable graphical collections in the world, with works such as Dürer’s Hare and Klimt’s studies of women. On permanent display in the Albertina’s new exhibition collection are the most exciting art movements of the last 130 years: from French impressionism to German expressionism to the Russian avant-garde and the present. Monet’s Water Lily Pond, Degas’s Dancers and Renoir’s Girl are on view, alongside paintings by Macke, Chagall, Rothko, Rainer and Katz.
