Art Venues
Written by Garry on
Interest in the arts is extremely strong in Germany. Fortunately, this holds true amongst those holding the purse strings in local, regional and national government as well. Patronage is also high and the Rhine Ruhr region offers numerous fine examples of this phenomenon.
