What the Albertina collection covers
Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen founded the Albertina's graphic art collection in 1776. It now holds more than one million drawings and prints, from the late Gothic period to the present. Drawings & Prints
The historic venue at Albertinaplatz brings these works together with painting, sculpture, photography, architecture and state rooms; this page covers that venue, not Albertina Modern or Albertina Klosterneuburg. Light-sensitive drawings appear in special exhibitions rather than permanent displays, so a collection record does not mean a work is on view today.
Its collection strengths include Old Master drawings, modern and contemporary prints, modernist painting, and architectural drawings.
