An old factory district for art and design
ARTPLAY occupies a former factory complex that has been adapted for different kinds of art and design. The district is arranged across multiple buildings, each with its own character. The industrial setting is part of the visit: take time to look at the architecture as you move between exhibition spaces and shops.
The complex also hosts events beyond exhibitions. Makers fairs and car shows have been held there, so the program can change the feel of a visit. Check what is scheduled before setting out.
