Grains of Time: Finnish Woodcut Artists Society 10 years
24 November 2023–19 May 2024
Grains of Time: Finnish Woodcut Artists Society 10 years celebrates Finnish woodcut art from the past to the present day. The oldest form of printmaking is thriving as a diverse, experimental form of contemporary art, evolving from prints and books to three-dimensional artworks. Woodcuts sketch out personal histories, memory, nature and knowledge.
The exhibition also explores the methods and history of woodcut making. Woodcuts selected from the Hämeenlinna Art Museum collection outline a century of Finnish woodcuts, from its roots to modern forms of expression.

Art Realm ’24
14 June 2024–8 September 2024
The Art Realm gives power to art. What happens when art leads and society follows?
Hämeenlinna Art Museum and Tampere Art Museum have joined forces with the Lahti Museum of Visual Arts Malva to launch Art Realm, a brand-new series of biennial exhibitions, which will rotate between venues in Kanta-Häme, Pirkanmaa and Päijät-Häme.
Within the Art Realm, artistic freedom makes anything possible. Art is not confined to a vacuum, however, but always exists in a dynamic relationship with its surroundings, meaningfully connected to wider society. That is why the Art Realm will be seeking to establish close collaborative relationships with experts from other fields.
