Albrecht Dürer's Dandelion


I visited Vienna in November last year and while wandering around the city I saw this building wrap showing perhaps one of the most famous dandelions in the art world. Advertising an exhibition at the Albertina Museum it shows Albrecht Dürer's watercolour The Great Piece of Turf painted in 1503.  With so many amazing museums in Vienna, I didn't go to the Albertina this time (I have been years ago and saw the painting then), but i was very glad to see it reproduced so big for all to enjoy. 
I wonder what they did with the building wrap? That would be a great addition to the Dandelion Archive...
