VVAK visits Paris

The Travel committee of the VVAK will organise a trip to Paris from 25-28 October 2018. There are no more places available.

We will visit Musée Guimet for the exhibition on the Japanse Meiji period (1868-1912) and we will see a beautiful new exposition in Musée Cernuschi. The splendid  Musée d’ Ennery is on the programme too and we are invited to visit two galeries focused on Asian Art.

Participants are invited to arrange their own hotel and transport.
Please communicate your participation and mobile telephone number to the Travel committee by sending an email to  info@vvak.nl. There is a maximum of 30 participants.

In order to participate in the full programme you need to arrive in Paris on Thursday 25 October around 12:30.

We are looking forward to your registration!
