HAM’s major exhibition takes an in-depth look at Tove Jansson’s public paintings, through which she shared joy, beauty and windows into magical worlds of storytelling. Filling half of HAM’s exhibition space on two floors, it presents over 180 artworks and other exhibits, along with a notable collection of previously unexhibited sketches.  

For one of HAM’s great arched halls, Norwegian contemporary artist Tori Wrånes will create a world inspired by surrealism and imagination. Wrånes has long made use of various figures and creatures, which she depicts performing rituals in their own, dreamlike worlds. Together,exhibition’s namesake piece, BIG WATER (2022), a large six-channel video and sound installation and object-like artworks create a whole that encourages us to imagine further, to surrender to the new and to gather around things that unite us.

Experience the best HAM has to offer! On this guided tour, we will explore HAM’s current exhibitions through key works chosen by the guide. This guided tour provides you a good overview of the exhibitions and the history of Tennis Palace.

In this workshop, we will create paintings inspired by the works of Tove Jansson’s Paradise exhibition. First, we will visit the exhibition briefly and sketch various plants, animals, and creatures. After the exhibition visit, you will paint with gouache.

In this workshop, we will make colourful art prints with an easy monotype technique. We will use soft gel printing plates and make patterns with various materials. Join this workshop to play with colours, forms, and surfaces. You will be surprised by the unique result!
