Universes in Universe - Worlds of Art

Routes on the PURPLE PATH

Universes in Universe - Worlds of Art, the platform for international contemporary art, has put together three exemplary routes for the PURPLE PATH art and sculpture trail. The routes link selected works of art with local stories, scenic features and cultural highlights along the open-air gallery in the 38 towns and municipalities of the Capital of Culture Region. They invite you to use the PURPLE PATH to bring art into dialogue with its surroundings and their history.
