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!

The 10th-anniversary exhibition #Stigmattomuus by the Moniääniset taiteilijat collective is the Kellokoski Hospital Museum’s summer art exhibition. They hear voices. Stigma refers to the negative reputation attached to and experienced by a group of people. From unashamed art activism now rises a revolutionary declaration: stigmattomuus! The Hospital Museum’s summer season begins on 16 May and the exhibition opens on 13 June.

Tuusula’s museums will switch to their summer opening hours in May. On Rantatie in Tuusula, Aleksis Kivi’s Memorial Cottage will open its doors, and opening hours will be extended at Erkkola and Halosenniemi. The Kellokoski Hospital Museum will open its doors on a few Saturdays in May.

A major exhibition showcasing the illustrative art of Rudolf Koivu (1890–1946) has opened at the Valamo Monastery Cultural Centre. It has been produced in collaboration with the Amer Cultural Foundation and the Tuusula Art Museum. The exhibition has been curated by cultural producer Liisa Heikkilä-Palo and exhibition curator Päivi Ahdeoja-Määttä.

Tuusula Museum and Cultural Services will move into the premises of the former Hyökkälä School in autumn 2026. The oldest part of the school was completed in 1954 and is a listed building. In the first phase, it will provide workspaces for museum and cultural staff, as well as suitable storage facilities for the municipality’s art and cultural history collections.  

Rijksmuseum Twenthe is presenting the first major retrospective exhibition of Pekka Halonen (1865–1933) in the Netherlands. The exhibition, ‘Pekka Halonen – Ode to Finland’, has been organised in collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum, the Petit Palais, Rijksmuseum Twenthe and the Ordrupgaard Museum.

Tuusula-Seura Ry awarded its annual Ruusu prizes for significant local community work to the organisation that organised Pekka Halonen's art exhibition at the Petit Palais art museum in Paris. The Ruusu prizes were awarded to the Petit Palais, the Tuusula Museum and the Pekka Halonen Society at the Tuusula-Seura spring meeting.
