Austria: Albertina

On 31st May I got three postcards from Austria.

One of them shows the Albertina in Vienna. The Albertina houses one of the largest and most important print rooms in the World, but is also home to other works of art ranging from da Vinci, Dürer and Bruegel to Toulouse-Lautrec and Monet. It is also one of the most visited art museums in the World.

The stamp and special postmark on the card celebrate the 250th anniversary of Wiener Börse (issued 28-05-2021). Founded by Maria Theresa in 1771, the Wiener Börse or Vienna Stock Exchange is one of the oldest exchanges in the World.


Thank You very much Anita!
