/Ulaanbaatar, 29.04.16/ An unprecedented exhibition displaying one of the biggest private collections of Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali opens today at The Fine Arts Museum of Zanabazar in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The museum is presenting the "Dali and Picasso" exhibition with a collection of over 200 original artworks by the greatest contemporary artists, owned by the world's fourth biggest collector and exhibition lead Alexander Shadrin from Russia.
