''Window on x'' or ''Window to x''

Hi. I recently stumbled across several events that used the word ''window'' in its title, but in differing ways. The first being called ''Window to Korea'' for an event promoting South Korea, the second being called ''Window on Holland'' for an event promoting the Netherlands. I was wondering which of these would actually be correct (or are both of them proper)?

Anonymous I was wondering which of these would actually be correct (or are both of them proper)? Both are in use. 'Window to' suggests that it offers access; 'window on' suggests that it offers observation.
