Events at castles and palaces

Admiring great art not only in the museum, but also taking it home: this is what interested people can do in the popular exhibition series "ART Vischering", which takes place every year in Vischering Castle. Here, art is offered for sale, as a gift for oneself and others. Graphics and paintings by renowned artists, but also by young artists, are presented. The exhibition features big names alongside artists from the local region, making for a varied exhibition.
