Not much in the way of Picasso paintings and less of Monet. Really focused on other painters of the period who were influenced by the above

The Albertina specializes in drawings of all kinds. It is housed in a new, purpose-built building that works very well. We spent a couple of hours viewing two special exhibits. Both were fun and interesting. The way the drawings were displayed and explained, it was easy to see the progression in styles and techniques over time. Centrally located, just behind... More

Relatively small museum, with mostly modern art. No comparison to Musée d'Orsay, but we still enjoyed what we saw there. The only thing I did not understand was why they had the same (at least) two paintings by Rubens both in the permanent collection and in the special exhibition downstairs.

Who would have thought? The Café at the museum provides very good food; a great Schnitzel, and marvelous tapas. We went for lunch, but they also have dinner service until 7pm. In good weather, you can eat out at la terraza. I highly recommend it.

What I particularly liked was the combination of a magnificent collection of paintings with the opportunity to visit the staterooms of the largest Hapsburg Palace. Together they offer good value for money and should not be missed.
