NEW: Art route Rotterdam, from Zuidplein to Central Station


Op Wednesday October 26 becomes the Art route Rotterdam, from Zuidplein to Central Station launched. The latest map in the series of art routes takes you past 38 well-known and lesser-known works of art and takes you from Zuidplein via Dordtselaan, Maashaven and Rijnhaven, over the Erasmus Bridge and Coolsingel to Central Station. In collaboration with the Oren en Ogen Tekort Foundation, the images have been made accessible to people with a visual impairment.

Op Wednesday October 26 om 14.30 Hours is added to the artwork Il grande miracolo (1958) by Marino Marini (near Mijnsherenlaan 231A) handed over the first copy of the art route map. The presentation is in the hands of Ove Lucas, director CBK Rotterdam. Elvera van Leeuwen of the Oren and Eyes Shortage Foundation explains the initiative Picture in Sound. Two walks will then start at 15.00 p.m., one for children and one for adults. The tours are guided by Kachiri van Zwam and Elvera van Leeuwen.
