Albertina Klosterneuburg

The Albertina Klosterneuburg, an offshoot of the renowned Albertina in Vienna, is an important place for art lovers. With the opening of this location, the Albertina is pursuing an important goal: to make a large part of the post-1945 collection accessible to the public. Works of art that are not currently on display in exhibitions at the Albertina or the Albertina Modern will find their place here. The impressive collection of contemporary art comprises around 65,000 works of art, including paintings, drawings, prints, photography, sculptures, videos and installations. A particular focus is on the presentation of sculptures, with works by artists such as Franz West, Erwin Wurm, Jonathan Meese and Marc Quinn. In addition to sculptures, drawing and watercolor, the core competence of the Albertina, will also be honored. The revival of this location in Klosterneuburg is not only important for the Albertina and its exhibition program, but also represents a significant addition to the museum offering for the province of Lower Austria and the cultural nation of Austria. The architecture of the former Essl Museum, designed by Heinz Tesar, allows for mixed use as a depot and museum.
