SUMMARY:Art Explora Festival - 25.10-4.11.2025
DESCRIPTION:For its final stop of 2025\, the Art Explora Festival and its one-of-a-kind museum boat will dock in Limassol from October 25 to November 4 \nThe Art Explora Festival was created in 2024 with the vision of bringing art and culture closer to as many people as possible. This pioneering travelling festival sails across seas and oceans on board the world’s first museum boat\, offering the public free access to innovative artistic and cultural experiences. These experiences are offered both on the boat itself and at selected venues in the host cities.
