An international exhibition focusing on Alexander the Great will be inaugurated Saturday evening at the Kunsthalle Museum in the central Austrian city of Leoben.
More than 400 artifacts from 25 museums around the world, including the Louvre, the British Museum, St. Petersburg’s State Hermitage Museum and the National Museums of Tajikistan and Afghanistan, will be displayed at the exhibition.
The exhibition, which will last until Nov. 1, was recently hosted in the German city of Mannheim until Feb. 21.
More than 100,000 visitors are expected to visit the Kunsthalle Museum exhibition.
Presenting the exhibition during a press conference in Leoben on Friday, the former general director of the Vienna History of Art Museum, Bilfrint Zaimpel, termed Alexander as “one of the most important, if not the most important, figure in world history”.
