the best museum for art lovers
The Albertina is a very interesting museum and was constructed where the old wall of Vienna could be found. The building is located in the heart of Vienna, enclosed by other symbolic places. And its architecture is on a par with its fortunate location.
Its great external splendor can’t be compared with the huge graphic collection, made up of over 65.000 drawings and a million engravings which can be found inside. This is one of the principal and most diverse in the whole world.
The works are classified by periods and you can admire both the ancient and important works, as well as the most innovative modern works.
This contrast is the most interesting of them all because the differing styles keep every visitor busy in the numerous sections of the museum at all times. I’m sure that if you visit this colossus of art you will find a section which will take an entire afternoon away from you.
The most famous item in this museum is Durero’s works, which have travelled to other significant museums in the world, such as the Louvre or the Prado. However, the prints dedicated to the triumphs of Maximiliano was the work which caught my eye the most.
This is one of the most representative museums in the city and its a must-see, because the richness of its works seems to be almost irresistible for all art lovers who visit Vienna.
When you visit Vienna, don’t forget to visit this famous museum, where you can see drawings of people, animals, battles and the daily life of the Austrian capital. You shouldn’t forget either that the alquiler apartamentos viena is usually a lot cheaper than staying in a hotel, and it will also give you the chance to life in the city like an Austrian.
