Our new exhibition is full of hope
The exhibition is open through 20.2. – 5.3.2026
Hämeenlinna Art Museum will open a new exhibition Kehyskertomuksia: 24 fps / Reframing Cinema, produced in collaboration with the Aalto University Department of Film ELO.
The aim of public art across Aalto is to create a vibrant environment for experiencing the world through various perspectives and for embracing imagination, intuition, and exploration.
How can we make space for unexpected ways of looking at the world? Galleries and exhibition venues are co-produced spaces for action, bringing together the knowledge, content, vision, and passion of different agents.
