I would really want to enjoy the museum's exhibitions, but frankly I didn't feel welcome in there. I was there with my kid and after getting guidance from the staff about their recent workshops, I went with the little one to take our outdoor clothes off and use the restroom. The workers were then following us with their eyes, trying to get our attention, as if we didn't understand the simple instructions. Dude, I'm just using the toilet first. My kid immediately understood to not touch anything, which she didn't, but another worker followed us around to tell her to stay further away from the pieces.

Per iniziare a conoscere gli artisti finlandesi bisogna visitare "The Oulu Museum of Art" , aperto nel 1963, nel centrale quartiere di Myllytulli. Nel corso dell' anno, il museo organizza diversi eventi, ospita interessanti mostre temporanee di arte contemporanea e possiede una collezione di opere d'arte di Oulu e della regione finlandeee dell' Ostrobotnia settentrionale. Una sezione dell' ampio spazio espositivo si sviluppa nella sezione più antica dell' edificio, che ospitava la fabbrica di colla della pelletteria Astrom. La parte con il prospetto in mattoni rossi è stata progettata da Birgen Federley. Il workshop è ricco di vari articoli e si possono acquistare stampe e oggetti originali. L' accoglienza dello staff è molto cordiale e il personale alla reception è gentile. Ad eccezione del lunedì, il museo é aperto tutti i giorni, dalle ore 10:00 alle 18:00. Il biglietto non è caro. Visirando le mostre che il museo ha organizzato nel 2019 sull' arte tessile, ho scoperto un particolare aspetto della cultura finlandese. Quell' anno ho visitato la mostra di Outi Pieski, un' artista di origine Sami, che si ispira, nelle sue opere pittoriche e nelle installazioni, ai colori e alle nappe degli scialli dell' antico popolo finlandese dei Sami. Interessante e stata anche la mostra di Helene Kaikkonem, un' artista tessile che esplora le tracce del tempo attraverso...
