This repository contains data for art exhibitions and art museums in Europe. It is updated irregularly.
The lllist.eu website lists art exhibitions in Europe and is generated from exhibition data in this repository.
lllist.eu became active in February 2012 and was updated frequently until March 2018. Since then, the website and this repository are updated irregularly.
The site shows current exhibitions (sorted by closing date), and future exhibitions (sorted by opening date).
lllist is a single-serving site inspired by Paul Hammond's Minimuni. It is served as a static web page, generated from data stored in simple text files: one file for each exhibition.
Data is stored in simple text files. Each file holds data for one exhibition (or museum), formatted as YAML frontmatter. Files are encoded in UTF-8 and have a .txt extension.
This is an example of a file for an exhibition:
