The ‘Sacred Nature’ exhibition at Halosenniemi opens on Tuesday 2 June. The exhibition explores artists’ perceptions of nature, ranging from Pekka Halonen’s landscape paintings to interpretations by contemporary artists. The common thread running through the exhibition is Halonen’s pantheistic relationship with nature. The theme of nature also manifests itself in many ways in contemporary art.

Every year, the Culture and Leisure Committee presents the ‘Culture-Friendly Person of the Year’ award to an individual or organisation. There’s still time to nominate a recipient!

The Hospital Museum’s summer season begins on 16 May and the exhibition opens on 13 June.
