Museum Fotoatelier Seidel and Egon Schiele Art Centrum invite for joint weekend 26th and 27th of February 2011. A single ticket purchased in the Egon Schiele Art Centrum or Museum Fotoatelier Seidel entitles you to visit all exhibitions in both institutions.
A surprised visitor of the newly reconstructed, original and only recently opened photo studio of Josef Seidel - a pioneer in professional photography in the first half of the 20th century - would probably have to ask the question:What year is it? The entire studio and its equipment is original and still fully operational. Antique photographic cameras, magnifying lenses and darkroom equipment. An illusion of idyllic times of the First Republic evokes a number of photographs and postcards, original glass negatives and also some personal belongings of Josef Seidel. All as if used only yesterday.
Master pieces by world famous artists are presented in this extensive exhibition in the Renaissance building - the former city brewery is today the centre of arts, named after the famous expressionist Egon Schiele (1890-1918)whose artworks and aquarelles are presented in the formof a permanent exhibition.
