Offenes Studio Gegenwart

We question our viewing habits! Through peepholes and self-made telescopes, we search the museum rooms and works of art for unusual patterns. Our sketches will be drawn and reproduced in the Studio Gegenwart to create a single work of art, a large tapestry of patterns. Open to all: families, friends, children, young people and adults are welcome. Free of charge without registration.
