Enjoying a splendid view
from its perch on architect Hans Hollein's
64-meter titanium wing canopy over
the entrance to the Albertina museum

The giant plastic sculpture of Dürer's "Young Hare"
will reign over the city until the end of June,
during the exhibition "Dürer, Michelangelo, Rubens"
currently at the Albertina Museum

Another copy of the sculpture
sitting on a giant green skateboard,
will be exhibited throughout to city
to promote the exhibition

"The large-scale presentation unites the highlights of the collection, from Michelangelo through Rembrandt and Rubens to Caspar David Friedrich. The centrepiece of the Albertina, Dürer's famous "Young Hare", is now once again accessible to an interested public in the context of this exhibit after a decade-long period of grace"
