Dress up as your favourite character at the museum – A magical day in Erkkola on 17 May.
The "Dress up as your favourite character at the museum – Fairytale Day" event will be held on Rantatie in Erkkola, Tuusula, on Saturday 17 May from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The whole family is welcome to come dressed as their favourite character. During the day, the museum will offer fairy tale tours, 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.
In the exhibition Beyond Reality, the artworks of Rudolf Koivu, Martta Wendelin and Venny Soldan-Brofeldt are filled with trolls, gnomes, elves, mermaids, princesses, princes, witches, toads and all kinds of brave fairy tale heroes. You too can dress up as your favourite book character, fairy tale character or cosplay outfit. If you happen to forget your outfit, we have a few costumes you can borrow. Take a picture of yourself in front of the fairy tale selfie wall.
Storytelling sessions for children and the young at heart are held in Finnish at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and in English at 1 p.m. The sessions last about half an hour. The magic wand workshop and paper theatre are open all day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
