A small 2 storey museum with a cafe located a little outside the city centre.
The museum was showcasing a temporary exhibition by THOMAS HOUSEAGO â WE WITH NICK CAVE & BRAD PITT.
The art and sculptures featured were abstract.
It was a curiosity to experience and contemplate the tempest of Brad Pitt in his art pieces e.g. the acrylic blocks of bullet sprays slowed and frozen in time.
The life of the devil conveyed in a series of porcelain pieces from birth to death was unusual since the devil is more populary accepted as immortal. Brings to mind the Song by Joan Osborn "One of Us".
We would have liked to have seen the permanent artworks of local artists collected by Sara Hilden but sadly none were on display.
The visit took less than 2 hours, a part of the time was spent at the café.
FOOD AT SARA'S CAFĂ: đđđđ Cosy cafĂ© with really delicious, creamy chocolate cake and good brewed coffee.

   Read moređ Under an Endless Light đ KĂ€vin Ă€skettĂ€in Sara Hildenin taidemuseossa ihailemassa erÀÀn ranskalaisen nykytaiteilijan teoksiađšVaikka pĂ€ivĂ€ oli sateinen ja harmaa, nĂ€yttelyssĂ€ kĂ€ytetyt kirkkaat vĂ€rit toivat hymyn huulille.đ
Jos oikein ymmĂ€rsin, kuvissa nĂ€kyvĂ€t abstraktit teokset esittĂ€vĂ€t luontoa ja kevÀÀn kukoistusta. Itselle jĂ€i parhaiten mieleen erivĂ€risten lasitiilten tekemĂ€ kontrasti museon karuille betoniseinille. Veistospuistossa oleva kultainen kukka ja puista riippuvat helminauhat olivat myös hauska lisĂ€ys. (HĂ€tkĂ€hdin kun satuin ulkona kĂ€velessĂ€ni nostamaan pÀÀtĂ€ni, ja puiden latvojen sijasta nĂ€inkin jĂ€ttimĂ€isen helmikorun.đ )
Arvostelun viides tÀhti lÀhti museon hankalasta sijainnista. ViihtyisÀÀ veistospuistoa ympÀröi meluisa ympÀristö, jonka kruunasivat SÀrkÀnniemen laitteissa kiljuvat ihmiset.
Itse museoalueelle oli haastava pÀÀstÀ, sillÀ opastukset tukivat SÀrkÀnniemi- rannekkeen ostamista, eli jouduit kÀvelemÀÀn huvipuiston lÀvitse pÀÀstÀksesi perille.
Suosittelen kÀymÀÀn huvittelun yhteydessÀ. (PÀÀset museoon ilmaiseksi SÀrkÀnniemi- rannekkeella (51e). TÀmÀ pÀtee myös KoiramÀkeen, Akvaarioon ja NÀsinneulaan.
Pst! Kyseinen nĂ€yttely on avoinna 15.9. asti, joten kerkeĂ€t hyvin vielĂ€ kĂ€pĂ€isemÀÀn siellĂ€đ Sateinenkin pĂ€ivĂ€ voi tuoda mukanaan positiivisia...
   Read moreWe visited Heikki Marila exhibition that was well curated and perfect fit for the wonderful brutalist concrete building by architect Pekka Ilveskoski. There was an audio guide giving background information for the works and reducing the amount of typical texts on walls. The café was modest but had exhibits and a wonderful view of the lake. The sculpture garden outside is nice...
