Beautiful museum with stunning art pieces. I particularly appreciated the connection between Wong and Van Gogh. It's wise to check maps for the busiest times and try to avoid them - I didn't manage to do that and it was a bit chaotic. It’s included with the Vienna Pass.

The Albertina is fantastic, hosting excellent exhibitions throughout the year, including many works by Picasso and Monet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have timed tickets, which made it extremely crowded during my visit. The Chagall exhibit was so packed that I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wished. However, the rest of the museum was impressive!

With its sophisticated interior, Albertina presents an excellent variety of both permanent and seasonal exhibitions. You will find a large number of lockers and clean restrooms at the entrance. The ticket prices are reasonable. Make sure to spend at least 2-3 hours here to enjoy all the exhibitions.

As a fan of Impressionism, I cannot stress enough how significant this museum is. Filled with masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso, it also showcases a temporary exhibit by Matthew Wong, a valuable addition alongside Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. The museum houses works from a variety of influential artists including Matisse, Bertoni, Magritte, Giacometti, Ernst, Derain, and Klimt. Besides the impressive artwork, the numerous rooms in this former palace provide a glimpse into the grandeur of the empire.

The combination of classical and contemporary art, all housed in a former Habsburg palace, provides a unique and inspiring experience. The building itself is breathtaking, with beautiful interiors enhancing the ambience. Purchasing tickets online was very convenient and saved time by allowing us to skip the queues — definitely a must-do. If you're in Vienna, don’t pass up the opportunity to stop by the Albertina; it’s a memorable destination.
