The Albertina Museum was established in 1805. It is located in the inner stadt district in Austria. The museum was once a palace. Unfortunately,it was bombed heavily during the war, resulting in major damages. Throughout the years the museum has been under construction at various times. In 2003 final reconstructions were made to the structure.
The Museum houses a permanent collection of paintings from the various art movements. It contains a diverse collection of masterpieces, with paintings by Chagal, Monet, Miro and Picasso, among other great artist. It is a great museum for beginner art lovers. It is not too overwhelming and can be enjoyed over the course of two days. Make sure to check out entrance fee discounts. For those of you who have never been to the Albertina, there is a photo gallery attached to this post for your visual pleasure. Enjoy!
