The Art Memberships Every Cultural Traveller Needs in Vienna
Vienna is a honeypot for lovers of art and culture, with an abundance of world-renowned institutions. There are plenty of reasons to treat yourself to a gallery membership. Not only are you supporting the preservation of some amazing collections, but the benefits often go far beyond a year-round pass, with invitations to exclusive events, discounts at the gift shop and exhibition previews.

Albertina Membership
The Albertina’s extensive art collection is a must-visit for Modernist fans, with masterpieces by many of the movement’s greatest – Monet, Francis Bacon, Degas and Picasso – all featuring among the permanent exhibition. As well as year-round access to an incredible feast of works, a membership with The Albertina also gives you the advantage of skipping the queues to exhibitions, 10% discount at the gift shop, exhibition previews and a reduction on audio guides. There are four different types of membership to choose from: Full Member, Sustaining Member, Student, or Sponsoring Member.
Leopold Card
The Leopold Museum houses a magnificent collection of works by some of Austria’s finest artists, assembled by prolific art collector Dr Rudolf Leopold, who acquired a staggering 5,000 precious artworks during his lifetime. Klimt and Schiele paintings and drawings, of course, feature heavily in the gallery – a few of the highlights that make the Leopold one of the most popular galleries in Vienna. It isn’t physically possible to admire the entirety of the gallery’s splendour in one day, so investing in an annual pass is a good idea for cultural travellers. An annual pass (€49, or €34 for students) gets you invitations to various events, readings, concerts and a discount at the gift shop.
