From stone masons to loggers – exhibition opens in Halosenniemi 

Museum

The exhibition opening on 4 February in Halosenniemi presents commissioned works and public art painted by Pekka Halonen. The name of the exhibition derives from two well-known commissioned works by Pekka Halonen: the wall fresco Kivityömiehiä (Stone Masons, 1903) in the vestibule of Sigrid Jusélius's mausoleum and the painting Tukinuittajat (Loggers, 1925), commissioned by the League of Nations in Geneva. Pekka Halonen also painted portraits and book illustrations and participated in competitions for church altarpieces.
