Albertina Modern

Albertina Modern occupies the restored Künstlerhaus building on Karlsplatz and displays contemporary artworks across 2,500 square meters of exhibition space spread over several levels. The building combines historical architecture with modern gallery spaces.

The Künstlerhaus was built during the Ringstrasse expansion in the 1860s as a place for artistic exchange. After extensive restoration, it reopened as Albertina Modern in 2020.

The collection focuses on Austrian artists from 1945 onward and displays works by Nitsch, Lassnig, and international creators that shape modern art understanding. Visitors see how different cultures and artistic movements come together in one space.

The museum is open daily and easily reached by public transport since it sits directly on Karlsplatz. The spaces are designed to be wheelchair accessible and have facilities for visitors with mobility needs.

The building was originally a meeting place for artists and kept that character even though it now displays artworks instead of housing artists. This history gives the place its own feeling.
