SKIVE 700 ÅR: ET GRATIS GLAS MED HISTORISK SAND

Det farvede sand i glasset på billedet viser et kunstnerisk stykke af Gammel Skivehus.

Det kommer fra kunstværket ’Århundreders Drømme’ af billedkunstner Signe Klejs.

Værket har i et halvt år været udstillet på Skive Kunstmuseum og viser et kort over Skive. Sandet på billedet er hentet fra det sted på kortet, hvor Gammel Skivehus ligger.

I løbet af weekenden bliver kunstværket afmonteret . Alle kan komme ind på kunstmuseet og få et lille glas sand med hjem - helt gratis.
