Ex­ile Net­work

The virtual museum "Arts in exile" sees itself as a network project that brings together the resources of research institutions, collections and exhibition organisers to present the phenomenon exile on a platform that reaches as wide an audience as possible.
The exhibition themes and exhibits have been compiled from different collections stored at various locations and from the results of research work that has been carried out by various bodies at a wide range of locations.
