According to the art museum, the public can get to know the exhibition on display from the point of view of a person closely related to it during the tours.
Hämeenlinna Art Museum is launching a new way to get to know the exhibitions on display. In the spring, the museum organizes an exhibition tour on the first Saturday of every month, where the artists and other creators of the exhibitions on display are visited.
During the tour, Wallensköld talks about, for example, the illustrations in the book Anatolij D. Mbdrinov, mushroom scientist, which are on display in the exhibition, through which he got to know Vexi Salme. The fictional mycologist was Wallensköld’s first experimental novel, which he has both written and illustrated.
– Preparing the schedule was quite a puzzle, but all the guests of the Saturday tours are happy to participate in the tours, says art educator Salla Nieminen.
Curator tours were organized in the art museum last summer, but the concept of the Saturday tours is a little different. On Saturdays, the public has a better chance of getting to the exhibition tour than on a weekday.
– In addition, we wanted the audience to learn about the regularity of the rounds and to trust that there will always be a guest at the exhibition at a certain time, Salla Nieminen says.
