Anytime visit# 6- Albertina museum Vienna Austria

The Albertina is a museum in the 
Innere Stadt (First District) of Virnna, Austria. It houses one of the largest and most important print rooms in the world with approximately 65,000 drawings  and approximately 1 million old master prints, as well as more modern graphic works, photographs and architectural drawings. Apart from the graphics collection the museum has recently acquired on permanent loan two significant collections of Impressionist and early 20th-century art, some of which will be on permanent display. The museum also houses temporary exhibitions.The albertina was a fairly small museum compared to the museums that we have been to in the past. It had 6 exhibits on show. My favorite of the exhibits was probably the Monet to Picasso exhibit also I saw a bunch of really cool paintings. This museum furthers my learning by showing me more artwork from many different artists to see much more variation different types art. The building itself was also very interesting also. The shape was very different then expected for a museum you had to go up  a escalator that brought you to a courtyard where there were lots of people who were sitting outside people watching. Then when you went in it was very big and open. In the museum they also had what seamed to be a whole house that was huge and amazing. My favorite part other then the amazing paintings and the house replica was that they had a huge pink bunny on the roof to celebrate Easter.
