The Hofburg : Albertina Graphic Arts Collection

The Hofburg : Albertina Graphic Arts Collection : The Michelin guide review

With over 1 million engravings and 60 000 drawings and watercolours, the Albertina Graphic Arts Collection is undoubtedly one of the largest in the world. Housed in the former Tarouca family palace since 1795, it owes its name to its founder, Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen. The Dürer Collection, assembled by Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16C, is exceptional. There are many other masterpieces by some of the greatest names in European art, from the Renaissance to the 20C.
