Jaksaa jaksaa! Kämpa på!
takes visitors on a journey from the peak moments of competitive sports to the quiet dedication of background forces, the joy of everyday exercise, and the landscapes of movement – along trails, across fields, and into the stands.  K.H.Renlund Museum’s most dynamic exhibition of 2025 dives into the rich cultural history of sports and physical activity in Kokkola. Through research, stories, and memory-laden objects, the exhibition traces the layered history of local sports and movement – a history driven by a familiar rallying cry: jaksaa jaksaa, kämpa på  keep on going!  

The exhibition is produced by K.H. Renlund Museum in collaboration with the City of Kokkola’s Sports Services and local sports clubs. Curated by Erik Erik Engberg and Anna Katriina Puikko.
