Muskrats and Canals, an outdoor art exhibition in the Krimpenerwaard, Holland

The KrimpenerKunstWaard art association held its first exhibition, located in Achterbroek, Berkenwoude in the Krimpenerwaard, which is about 15 km from Rotterdam. The area is lush, green with meadows, waterways and farmland. In the midst of its beauty live muskrats who are not natural to this habitat. They thrive on the grasses along the water's edge, causing it to weaken and recede. This art project is to assist in the awareness of the muskrat as a menace. It also brings attention to this very unique environment, the Krimpenerwaard - located between 2 rivers, the IJssel and the Lek, where biking, hiking and canoeing are also popular among visitors.
