With its famous graphic collection, the Albertina is considered one of the most important museums in the world. Here, one can find Dürer’s “The Field Hare” and Klimt’s studies of women. Once the largest Habsburg living quarters, the Albertina sits majestically on the south end of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining bastions of Vienna.
Founded in 1776 by Duke Herzog Albert of Saxe-Teschen, the collection contains more than 1 million prints and 60,000 drawings. Famous works such as Dürer’s "The Field Hare" and "Hands folded for Prayer," Rubens’s studies of children as well as masterworks of Schiele, Cézanne, Klimt, Kokoschka, Picasso and Rauschenberg are shown in changing exhibitions. The Albertina also owns an architecture collection and a newly created collection of photographs (Helmut Newton and Lisette Model, among others).
The state rooms of the largest living quarters of the Habsburg family were once occupied by the favorite daughter of Empress Maria Theresia, Archduchess Marie-Christine, later by her adopted son Archduke Karl, the victor of the battle of Aspern against Napoleon.
