Fairy-tale worlds beckon – spring events in Erkkola
Erkkola is hosting an exhibition entitled u0026quot;Beyond Reality – Imaginary Worlds in Fairy Tale Illustrationsu0026quot; throughout the spring, featuring works by Rudolf Koivu, Martta Wendelin and Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, among others, which transport viewers far beyond the boundaries of everyday life. The museum is organising several fairy tale-themed events related to the exhibition.
Hanna Samola, PhD, University Lecturer in Finnish Literature at the University of Tampere, will give a lecture at Erkkola on the topic of Enchanted Worlds in Fairy Tales and Fairy Tale Illustrations. She will discuss the world-building techniques typical of fairy tales and how illustrations complement the enchanting atmosphere of these worlds: illustrations help transport the reader into the magical world of fairy tales, where anything is possible. The lecture will be held at Erkkola on Thursday, 3 April at 6 p.m.
Guided tours of the Erkkola exhibition for children will be held on Saturday 12 April at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The tour will take you on an adventure to underwater kingdoms and cloud castles, accompanied by fairies, trolls and fairy-tale heroes. At the end, we will create our own unique fairy tale together with the help of an open-ended story. The tour is intended for all children and the young at heart (recommended for ages 4 and up). The tour lasts approximately 30 minutes.
In May, you can enjoy a Fairytale Day in Erkkola on Saturday, 17 May. The artworks in the museum’s Beyond Reality exhibition are full of trolls, gnomes, elves, mermaids, princesses, princes, witches, wizards and all kinds of brave heroes. Dress up as your favourite book character or fairy tale character and come visit us! During the day, there will be fairy tale tours at the museum, and you can make your own magic wand in a workshop or try your hand at paper theatre. Delicious treats from Leipovien leidit will be on sale in the courtyard. If you forgot your costume, we have a few costumes available. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The admission fee for events at Erkkola is €8/€6. Admission is free with a museum card or Kaikukortti card, as well as for all children aged 0–18. No advance registration is required for events.
