Alongside the familiar classics, the exhibition also features less frequently displayed works.

My Ateneum – a guided tour of the collection exhibition for schoolchildren
What is “Your Ateneum” like? What do you find interesting? What doesn’t interest you that much? Do you feel at home or does the place feel totally strange?
This guided tour offers a glimpse into the history of the museum and an introduction to the exhibition A Question of Time. We also encourage participants to discuss art and offer their interpretations. Art often deals with being human and evokes emotions, so art experiences provide a natural opportunity to practise emotional and interpersonal skills.
It is important to us that children and young people feel welcome and can actively participate. The methods of guidance and participation vary by age group.
Bookings:
Tour languages: Finnish, Swedish, English and Russian
Price: €70
Group size: max. 25 students
Duration: 50 minutes
A guided tour can be booked for the exhibition. Your guide will present the collection exhibition A Question of Time. Part of the guided tour can be replaced with a tour of the Hugo Simberg exhibition. When booking the guided tour, remember to specify if you wish to see also the Simberg exhibition.
When you book a guided tour or exhibition intro for your group, admission tickets to Ateneum will be added to your booking.
