Albertina

Housed within the beautiful Hofburg (Imperial Palace), the Albertina is named after its founder, Duke Albert von Sachsen-Teschen (1738-1822), who lived in the palace at the end of the 18th century. The Albertina's collection of over a million drawings, prints and engravings dates from the 14th century and includes exquisite pieces by Raphael, Michelangelo, Goya, Cezanne and studies of children by Rubens. Also here is the world's most important collection of work by Albrecht Dürer, which includes Dürer's masterpieces Hare and Clasped Hands. An ultramodern study and research center uses a state-of-the-art storage system to protect the museum's invaluable collection.
