OpenArt 

A large art exhibition where art from around the world is shown outdoors in central Örebro. During the summer, the city is filled with art on streets, squares, in parks and in other places, so you can discover it as you move around the city.

New this year is OpenArt Links, where parts of the exhibition can be seen in Askersund, Kumla, Lindesberg, Nora and Tivedstorp. Take the chance to explore the art outside Örebro and make a trip to new places across the region by bus. In July, if you’re interested in art, you can borrow a travel card to visit the artworks in OpenArt Links. Travel cards are available at the OpenArt Info Centre at Örebro Art Gallery.
