In the first of a planned series of international Art exhibitions the “Golden Age of Austrian Art” was opened today by H.E. Sayyid Ali bin Hamoud Al BuSaidi, Minister of the Diwan. Bernhard Böhler, the Director of the Dommuseum Museum, which provided the sketches for the exhibition , gave Sayyid Ali an overview of highlights.

Included in the display is the Gustav Klimt  study sketch for the painting of “Adele Bloch-Bauer” and includes other works by Kokoschka, Schiele and Fronius .

Setting the tone for the evening the opening was followed by the “Trish Trash” Polka and later other Austrian music .

Though I managed to see some sketches I think another visit will give a better viewing as it was a packed opening.
