Monet to Picasso. The Batliner Collection
Since 2007 the Albertina has an impressive permanentexhibition. This exhibition gives you an overview of one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of art: classical modern art.
This major permanent exhibition starts with French impressionist painting including major works by Degas, Cezanne,mToulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Vuillard and Signac. Highlights of the show are a portrait of a young girl by Auguste Renoir, a water lily painting by Claude Monet, “Young Woman in a Blouse” by Modigliani and an impressive group of works by Pablo Picasso.
Another focal point is German expressionism, with two artist groups “The Bridge” and “The Blue Rider”. Also on display are outstanding examples of surrealist art including works by Joan Miró, Max Ernst and René Magritte. Russian avant-garde and American abstract painting from the 1950s can also be viewed in this comprehensive exhibition.
Thus, with a permanent exhibition, the Albertina is the only museum in Austria that can close the previously existing gap in international classical modern art.
Habsburg Staterooms
A tour of the newly renovated Staterooms is a further highlight of any visit to the Albertina. Experience first hand the impressive splendour and flair of the Habsburg monarchy.
The palace, which was a gift to Duke Albert and his wife, Marie Christine – Maria Theresa’s favourite daughter – was built in 1745-1747 and expanded in 1801-1805.
The Habsburg Staterooms include 21 rooms that are spread out over two floors of the palace. The Hall of the Muses, which is flanked on both sides by imperial apartments, is the spatial and representative centre of the staterooms. Let the unique furniture and ornate parquet floors fabricated by Joseph Danhauser captivate you.
The precious staterooms take you on a journey to the magnificent kingdom of the Classicism era while the restored facade pays tribute to the outstanding position of the palace and the lordly rank of the Habsburg residents
