Three-in-one exhibition invites art-lovers in Sofia to delight over Austrian canvasses and artefacts from Vienna's Royal Court.

With three separate collections exhibited in the capital's National Gallery for Foreign Arts, Austria marks the 125th anniversary from establishing bilateral relations with the Balkan country.

The Austrian emperial-times canvasses represent the royal court in Vienna, classical modernism and post-modernism art by Otto Mauer, and works of Feichtinger.

The canvasses are stored in the unique Museum for Royal and Cutlery Silver in Austria. The museum's aim is to show off the history of a great empire through small and exquisite objects of everyday life.

The Sofia-visiting exhibition, due to last till August 6, offers also two Bulgarian orders, which have decorated Emperor Karl.

The cultural event is organized by the Austrian Embassy and Bulgarian Culture Ministry under the auspices of President Georgi Parvanov.
