Akseli Gallen-Kallela
National Museum of Finland, Helsinki
- 2.12.2022–2.4.2023
The new exhibition at the National Museum of Finland explores the long career of Akseli Gallen-Kallela and the versatile works of the internationally renowned artist.
The exhibition features some of the most well-known works by Gallen-Kallela: Themes from the Kalevala, works depicting Finnish nature and people as well as paintings from the artist’s many trips.
Visitors can learn more about the artist passionate about exploring new techniques, who also created prints, designed medals, textiles, and furniture, and who also worked as an architect.
In addition to the frescos, which were his final major works, early drawings by the young Gallén, suffering from wanderlust, are also exhibited at the National Museum.
The exhibition highlights a prolific artist, tracing the career of the internationally renowned artist in a time when Finland and Europe were at a turning point.
The exhibition includes works from the collection of the National Museum of Finland, as well as other public and private collections.
The opening hours of the National Museum will be extended for the duration of the exhibition: the museum will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays. The museum will also employ a reduced admission of six euros for unemployed people, students and people aged 18–30 years. People under the age of 18 will have free admission.
