Share
Amos Rex opens on Monday 1 June in accordance with Finnish government guidelines. To ensure the safety of museum visitors and staff, there will be restrictions on the number of visitors, instructions on distancing and hygiene and other special arrangements. This summer the museum presents the Generation 2020 exhibition, which has been extended through 23 August.

Amos Rex opens to the public with appropriate safety measures on Monday 1 June. This summer visitors are invited to experience first-hand the Generation 2020 exhibition, which presents young, emerging artists. Customer facilities and exhibition displays have been adjusted to ensure that visiting the museum is safe. Changes have been made in the presentation of works that could previously be touched, and some works have been moved onto the museum website.

During June and July, Amos Rex will be open on weekdays 11am–6pm, closed on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays 11am–5pm. Generation 2020 runs through Sunday 23 August.

More than 160,000 digital art experiences during Amos Rex’s closure

Before it was closed due to the coronavirus epidemic, 39,000 people visited the Generation 2020 exhibition during its first month. While the museum was closed in March and April, there were more than 160,000 visits to Amos Rex’s free digital experiences. Even after the museum opens, this content on the museum’s website and social media accounts is an excellent way to orient oneself before a visit or to experience the exhibition for those who have been advised to stay home: www.amosrex.fi/online.

Amos Rex’s website offers a selection of full-length video works, a children’s tour and suggestions for creating art at home. You can also experience the Generation 2020 exhibition through short video tours via Instagram’s IGTV and Facebook. Guided tours are available in English as well as Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish and Russian: www.instagram.com/amoskonst/channel. Amos Rex also posts artist interviews and artwork presentations on Instagram.

Mystiska mossjättar tar över Glaspalatstorget – Amos Rex utställning inbjuder oss att ifrågasätta och drömma på barns orädda sätt14.3.2024 10:40:08 EET | Tiedote

En grön mossjätte utrustad med skidor och stavar har anlänt till Amos Rex kullar, redo att utforska okänd terräng. Vandraren upplever att världen utforskas genom att resa, men också med hjälp av känslosinnet – speciellt via händernas beröring. Det är kanske därför jätten rör vid sin öppna handflata med ena handens två fingrar och formar tecknet som betyder att gå eller att vandra.

Salaperäiset sammaljätit valtaavat Lasipalatsin aukion – Amos Rexin näyttely kutsuu meitä kyseenalaistamaan ja uneksimaan lasten pelottomaan tapaan14.3.2024 10:40:08 EET | Tiedote

Vihreä sammaljätti varustettuna suksilla ja sauvoilla on kulkenut Amos Rexin kumpujen keskelle, kenties valmiina kartoittamaan tuntemattomia alueita. Vaeltajan mielestä yksi tapa oppia tuntemaan maailmaa on matkustaminen, toinen on aistien avulla – erityisesti kosketuksen kautta. Ehkä siksi jätti kertoo omasta tehtävästään koskettamalla avointa kämmentä toisen käden kahdella sormella. Viittoma toteutuu liikuttamalla sormia kämmenen yli, mikä tarkoittaa viittomakielellä kävellä tai vaeltaa.

Mysterious moss giants take over Lasipalatsi Square – Amos Rex’s exhibition invites us to ask questions and dream fearlessly like children14.3.2024 10:40:08 EET | Press release

A green moss giant with skis and poles has arrived at Amos Rex’s domes, ready to explore unfamiliar terrain. Wanderer sees the world as being best explored by travelling, but also with the sense of touch – especially the touch of the hand. That may be why the giant is moving two fingers across the palm of his other hand, forming the sign that means to walk or to wander.

Amos Rex nya utställningar upplevs med känsla och öppet sinne – första utställningen med verk ur museets samlingar och Josefina Nelimarkkas studioutställning öppnar 27.3.20247.3.2024 14:22:03 EET | Tiedote

Känslorna och hjärtat fick styra då verken till den första breda presentationen av Amos Rex samlingar valdes. Utställningen Så känns det, tillsvidare låter oss se glimtar ur de omfattande samlingarna och den lämnar också rum för besökarens känslor. Samtidigt öppnas Josefina Nelimarkkas (f. 1982) utställning The Cloud of Un/knowing, med nya verk som utforskar molnen och deras väsen som en del av vattnets kretslopp på jorden. Amos Rex bjuder in representanter för pressen till pressevenemanget tisdagen 26.3 kl. 10–12. Anmälan: https://amosrex.fi/rsvp-press/

Amos Rexin uudet näyttelyt koetaan tunteet edellä ja aistit avoinna – museon ensimmäinen kokoelmanäyttely sekä Josefina Nelimarkan studionäyttely aukeavat 27.3.20247.3.2024 14:22:03 EET | Tiedote

Kun Amos Rexin ensimmäisen laajemmin kokoelmia esittelevän näyttelyn teokset valittiin, se tehtiin tunteella ja sydämellä. Musta tuntuu, toistaiseksi -näyttely tarjoaa kurkistuksen mittaviin kokoelmiin ja antaa tilaa myös kävijän tunteille. Samaan aikaan avautuva Josefina Nelimarkan (s. 1982) uusista teoksista koostuva The Cloud of Un/knowing -näyttely tutkii pilviä ja niiden olemusta osana maapallon veden kiertokulkua. Amos Rex kutsuu median edustajat lehdistötilaisuuteen tiistaina 26.3. klo 10–12. Ilmoittautuminen: https://amosrex.fi/rsvp-press/
