Our aim is to explore galleries, museums, special exhibitions, and similar venues accessible via public transportation. Sometimes, car-sharing might be necessary. We meet either directly at the venue around 11 a.m. or at a nearby café after 10:20 a.m. If there's an entry fee, it is paid by each individual on the day of the visit. Afterwards we usually have lunch together, which provides an opportunity to discuss our impressions.
The Butterly Fund may be able to provide support.
