We already talked about Mumok and Vienna’s modern art scene, but more importantly I want to share another kind of art scene. One of my favorite museums in Vienna is Albertina. Although it is one of the museums with more expensive tickets, In addition to its beautiful permanent collection, they always have different types of temporary exhibitions. I always thought I got the money worth every time I visited. However, for those who are staying here for a long time, there is another way to visit Albertina.

You can become a member/ Friend of Albertina for 15 euros for 6 months for student. Of course, there are different tiers of membership status, such as full member, students‘ club, sustaining members, and sponsoring members. I joined Students‘ Club which is basically a full member at a discounted price. I get free admissions to the museum, 10% off from the Albertina shop, exhibition previews, reduction on special events, free check room, and cheaper audio guide. For the upper tier membership statuses, you have more benefits obviously.

More importantly, I was at Albertina this week because of this particular exhibition with Paul Signac, one of my favorite artists. Along with Paul Signac, the exhibition featured Georges Seurat and Vincent Van Gogh as well. While I was there, I also enjoyed Albertina Contemporary as well as the Colorful Vienna Woodcut Around 1900 exhibitions. So basically if you visit the museum twice within the six months, your Students‘ Club membership has already paid for itself!
