On 17 May, the Recollections exhibition showcasing the art of award-winning textile artist Raija Jokinen will open in Häme Castle. Jokinen uses linen fibre as a material in her works, sewing and forming it by hand. Her best tool is often a dog brush.

The exhibition year of the National Museum of Finland starts in April, with the exhibition Oceanista – Fashion and the Sea of the Maritime Museum of Finland. The exhibition showcases ocean-inspired fashion designed by internationally renowned fashion houses and Finnish designers. Starting in May, Häme Castle will showcase textile art by award-winning textile artist Raija Jokinen.

The leading roles in the Royals of the Forests exhibition, which will open at Häme Castle, are played by the windy woodlands of the North and their undisputed rulers: the bear, the wolf, the elk and the lynx. For centuries, these four animals have featured in stories, beliefs, mythology and heraldry. Over time, each of them has also been assigned a specific set of characteristics. Animal-themed items have been chosen for the exhibition from the archaeological collections of the National Museum of Finland and the Finnish Heritage Agency. Among the items on display is an axe shaped like an elk’s head, which was found in Kuusamo last month. It is one of the most significant prehistoric findings in Finland, and this will be the first time that it will be on display. The exhibition will also feature sculptures by artist Jenni Tieaho and animal photographs by Ossi Saarinen. The exhibition is open from 16 June 2023 to 28 January 2024.
