The summer season at the K.H. Renlund Museum opens with Kuutti Lavonen, one of Finland’s most beloved contemporary artists. For the first time, a more extensive body of the artist’s work is on display at the museum. Drawing on the richness and refinement of the artistic traditions of France and Italy, Lavonen depicts today’s world and the relationships between people in his art. The exhibition consists of paintings and graphic works from different stages of the acclaimed contemporary artist’s career. It features new works created by Kuutti Lavonen specifically for this exhibition, as well as rarely shown works on loan from various museums and private collections.

The renewed main exhibition invites visitors to discover new stories and experiences – featuring works from Karl Herman Renlund’s collection of Finnish Golden Age art, along with glimpses into the life of the Roos family. Throughout the autumn, the exhibition will be enriched with new narrative layers, gradually coming into full bloom.

You are free to explore the exhibition in any order you wish – simply follow the roses.

A warm welcome to experience the new story of Roos House!
