Cloakroom

We request that you check all backpacks, bags, and handbags larger than 28 x 35 cm as well as packages and umbrellas in the cloakroom (charges apply) or deposit them in the free cloakroom lockers on Level -1. Any small bags you do take in must without exception be hung over your shoulder and at your side. The ALBERTINA Museum reserves the right to require guests to deposit smaller bags, as well. In certain weather conditions, the museum may require that guests leave all bags and outdoor items in the cloakroom or the lockers in order to protect the artworks.

Drawing at the ALBERTINA Museum

As a rule, drawing with a pencil and a pad of paper (max. size: A4) in the exhibition halls is allowed as long as the museum is not too crowded. Not permitted are ink, paint, easels, chairs, and sitting or lying down on the floor to draw.

During your visit, you’re welcome to use the ALBERTINA Museum’s free Wi-Fi. And please do take the opportunity to share your impressions and photos with @AlbertinaMuseum and #AlbertinaMuseum—we’re looking forward to your impressions!

Our audio guides, which are put together like informative and atmospheric radio dramas, help you get the most out of your individual visit to our exhibitions and the Habsburg State Rooms.
These audio tours provide you with comprehensive information on exhibition content, artworks, and the artists and their times— and they interweave quotations, interviews, and background music to make your exhibition visit a truly special experience.
