The exhibition “Pekka Halonen: Finland’s Invitation” opens today at the Ordrupgaard Museum. It presents Pekka Halonen as one of the most significant artists in Finnish art history. The exhibition has been organised in collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum, the Petit Palais art museum in Paris, the Rijksmuseum Twenthe in the Netherlands and the Ordrupgaard Museum. Several works and artefacts from Halosenniemi are included in the exhibition.

The Hyökkälä School, known as ‘Nopaksi’, welcomed new occupants at the start of September. The building houses workspaces for museum and cultural staff, as well as storage facilities for the municipality’s art and cultural history collections.

This traditional event day is packed with cheerful atmosphere and fun activities for families with children at the museums around Lake Tuusulanjärvi on Saturday 22 August. Taking part are Ahola, Ainola, Halosenniemi, the Lotta Museum, Erkkola and Aleksis Kivi’s final home. Tuusula’s own mobile library, Kirre, will arrive at the Halosenniemi car park as usual. On the day of the event, admission to all the museums is free for children and the adults accompanying them. The museums are open from 10.00 to 17.00.

There are a large number of events taking place in various community centres across Tuusula, featuring music, dance, circus, visual arts and workshops, amongst other things. With over thirty events taking place during Tuusula’s Night of the Arts, there is something to suit everyone’s interests. Most of the events are free of charge.

Tuusula Week brings a wealth of activities for all ages in July. The programme includes culture, sport, music, exhibitions, markets and community events across the municipality.

Tuusula is full of fascinating museums. During the eighth edition of the ‘Tuu museoon’ weeks, running from 21 July to 2 August, specialist museums located across the municipality will be showcasing industrial and local history through a diverse range of exhibitions.

Tuusula’s Autumn of Culture invites you to enjoy a range of experiences! Tickets go on sale on Friday 12 June at 9am.

There are changes to the opening hours of the Tuusula Museum during Midsummer.

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!
