KUUTTI LAVONEN
Rosea – Unique Works and Prints

24 April – 4 October 2026
Roos House, Pitkänsillankatu 39
Open Tue–Sun 11 am–4 pm, Thu 11 am–6 pm
8/5 €

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.

We’re working on a new concept!

The second floor of the Roos House is closed as of Monday, February 2, 2026, due to the renewal of the main exhibition. The Roos House’s ground floor as well as our other museum locations are open as usual during the renewal of the exhibition. While the second floor is closed, the admission fee to the Roos House’s ground floor temporary exhibition is only 5 euros/0 euros (normally 8 euros/5 euros).

The new exhibition will open in summer 2026. The exhibition delves into the bourgeois lifestyle of the era through the Roos familiy’s social life – exploring stories, traditions and human destinies, while offering art experiences from the Golden Age of Finnish art.
