Museumsquartier Building Site Tours

Due to open in June 2001, the Museumsquartier is the most ambitious cultural project ever undertaken in democratic Austria. Within the confines of the old imperial stables, it will eventually house the activities of the Karlsplatz Kunsthalle, the Stiftung Ludwig collection of modern art, the Leopold Collection of works by Egon Schiele, concert halls and a rehearsal space. Work began in 1998 and architecture fans now have the opportunity to see the current state of this 60,000m2 project. Stout footwear is recommended, hardhats supplied.

Too Much Pity

A public debate on whether Czech society coddles its weakest members is bound to produce sparks. And that's how Respekt likes it. The republic's leading alterna-weekly, Respekt likes to force the issues and has been reviving the pre-war tradition of Q&A forums on important social topics. This week's considers whether the Czech state 'liquidates its own wealth through its social assistance'. Speakers include the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, a senator, a sociologist and correspondents from Czech Radio and Respekt. In Czech with some interpretation.

In Line With Al Hirschfeld: An Al Hirschfeld Retrospective

'In Line With Al Hirschfeld' portrays a unique take on history of the performing arts in the 20th-century. Perhaps best known for his caricatures of Broadway socialites, the broad strokes and sly humour of Al Hirschfeld's classic line drawings have graced 'The New Yorker', 'The New York Times' and 'Rolling Stone'. This retrospective examines his influences, his iconography and his techniques from his earliest works at age 11 to his most recent New York Times' drawings.

Konoba

Once again it's down to the Croats to supply Vienna with affordable fish and seafood. In a pleasant stripped wood and po-mo ventilation duct setting, Konoba brings a refreshing taste of the Dalmatian coast to Vienna with dishes such as the hefty Buzara - mussels in a potent wine, garlic, olive oil and parsley sauce. Garlic tends to be prominent here - often to the detriment of the superbly grilled sea bass and bream - so ask the staff to go easy on it. The edge can also be removed by downing plenty of fruity Dalmatian whites such as Laski Rizling and Dingac.
