MuseoFest: Is Art Scary?

There are approximately 13,000 works in the collections managed by the Jyväskylä Art Museum – but are there works among them that will make your hair stand on end? And what makes a work of art scary? Come and see selected works that evoke chills and tickle the imagination.

Vote for the scariest work of art!
At the exhibition, you can take part in the public vote and tell which work made you shiver the most – and why. Fear is in the eye of the beholder!

Participation requires a MuseoFest festival wristband.
