Artebinaria Open-Air Museums have already been opened in Florence, London and New York.

Previewed at the Beginning of the Year

Artebinaria had previously presented a preview of the museum at the beginning of the year, and due to its positive reception, the company has decided to make it a permanent installation and expand its availability for visitors to enjoy for a longer period.

How to visit Artebinaria Open-Air Museum

A visit to the Artebinaria Open-Air Museum in Vrijthof Square takes place via the app Open-Air Museum, available on App Store, for iPhone and iPad.

Inside the virtual rooms of the Pavilions, visitors can admire the artworks, displayed in life-size, as if they were hanging on invisible walls which do not conceal their surroundings.
