The large-scale art and cultural event called 'Holland Art Cities' has come to an end. In 2009 and 2010, the four largest cities in Holland took part in this international event.

Around 5 million people visited the expositions in the main programme of the ten museums; 2.9 million Dutch visitors and 2 million visitors from all over the world.

To underline the quality of the programme: many of the visitors came specifically to the Netherlands and/or the city to see the exhibition and were delighted with their visit.
