Travelling is part and parcel of artgeography.  

A true artgeographer is a traveller by nature, voyaging to those places that serve as a source of myths and stories. Characteristics of myths and stories are that they are orally passed on from one person to another, and that they can be visualized. And that they become embedded in man’s long-term patrimony of thought, in spite of - or perhaps because of - their polyformity. By carefully planning and carrying out his travels, the persevering artgeographer wants to capture the above-mentioned characteristics and share his experiences with others.

It is not easy to describe an artgeographical trip in definitions. Anyhow curiosity and being fascinated is important. There is "something" that motivates to set off in the hope and expectation to encounter on the spot something of interest. Searching for answers perhaps, the missing parts of the puzzle or the remains of what ever was.

In the image above this page links can be found to 4 examples of possible artgeographical trips. They make clear how a subject or theme can be coupled to the collected data and footage about the "then" and the "now".

In our description of the term artgeography the range of the themes, locations, and visions is indicated and offers possibilities for an artgeographical survey that consists of a number of ingredients.
To the basis is due a subject or topic to examine more closely.

Except necessary research in libraries and archives/internet it is important to write down on the way or on the spot notes of the findings and considerations. Moreover register, photographic records, and also collecting of found or acquired material, and visit local museums and archives.

Home again the traveller, an experience richer, overlooking his collected material may conclude that it is still incomplete, that the trip has to be made once again..
