The relocation of the Artothek to Elsässer Straße 17, which is part of the project Creative City offers a variety of new opportunities for interaction and encounters with the Oberhausen city community. In future, visitors will be able to Wednesday on 16 18 pm and everyone Thursday on 13 19 pm Borrow works of art for your own home or workplace. Exciting activities also keep the new art venue alive: From exhibitions to discussions with artists and Advent events, the Artoclub the opportunity for artistic exchange and dialogue was given many times.
