Programme series Contact
Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova invites you to participate. Our ‘Contact' programme series combines different forms of art and culture to intensify the relationship between the museum and the public. In the course of the year, ‘Contact 2010' will offer lectures, workshops, storytelling, a Medieval Nature Evening session and several other enjoyable events. Our art and handicraft courses provide an opportunity for relaxed learning. Small children can amuse themselves on our adventure tours, while school-age children dig into art and history in our afternoon clubs and summer courses.
