On tour
Noorderlicht productions elsewhere
The quality of Noorderlicht exhibitions, and the imagination and planning behind them, is widely appreciated, not just here in The Netherlands, but also abroad. Our exhibitions are therefore also to be seen in foreign museums and galleries, at art festivals and in special presentations. In the last decade selections from our photo festivals, special projects and photo commissions have been seen in almost 30 countries, from Finland to Syria, from Nigeria to America, and from Singapore to Australia.
On this page you will find a survey of the Noorderlicht productions that have been on tour around the world over the last three years.
