My favourite Finnish things

Aarteitani Suomesta is an art exhibition and workshop ensemble inspiring visitors to read, and it is based on Satu Kettunen’s picture book of the same name.

In the exhibition, you can step inside the book in the woods, read and lie down in different reading tents and huts. You can admire treasure collections, view book illustrations, and complete independent tasks.

The exhibition is based on the Kirja astuu ulos kansistaan (KAUK) method, in which the book’s world comes to life in physical space. It inspires people to experience the book and reading from a new perspective.

The core message of the book Aarteitani Suomesta is to appreciate nature and embrace diversity. It invites all voices to reflect on different points of view related to Finland, home, and a good place to be. What is your treasure from Finland?

Parts of the exhibition have been carried out in cooperation with children from Vuosaari.
