KunstTour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The KunstTour is a yearly art festival in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
During the weekend of the festival, which is usually in spring, a lot of galleries and workshops open their doors to the public for free. Artists then get the chance to expose their work, and the visitors can see the workplaces of the artists. Visitors can be brought to different locations on a free bus.
