EMMA opens its doors on Monday 3 May 2021 – The public has a unique and also last chance to view Elmgreen & Dragset’s much publicised exhibition 2020 for one more day with an advance ticket
30.4.2021 12:00:00 EEST | EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art | Press release

Elmgreen & Dragset’s exhibition period has been extended by one more day to offer the public a chance to experience the spectacular show in the nick of time when EMMA reopens on Monday, 3 May at 12 noon. Although the museum is now open, the visit will be slightly different than before. EMMA, EMMA Shop and Cafe Zoceria WeeGee will be open, but the WeeGee exhibition centre and its other facilities will remain closed for the time being. Because of coronavirus restrictions, we admit a limited number of visitors to the exhibition at one time. EMMA will admit 100 visitors per hour. With its 5,000 square metres of exhibition spaces, EMMA is, by area, the largest museum in Finland and provides an environment where you can enjoy art safely and with appropriate distancing.
You can purchase an advance ticket online from the online EMMA Shop for the viewing time of your choice. Museum Card holders and others entitled to free admission should also book a visit from the shop. Visitors with a card entitling them to free admission may be asked to present the card upon entry to the museum. Having been closed for a long time, EMMA hopes to welcome as many people as possible. The museum will therefore be exceptionally open every day, including Mondays. Until further notice we will be open Monday through Friday from 12–19 and on Saturday and Sunday from 11–17. Cafe Zoceria WeeGee has its own opening hours, which can be found on their website.

EMMA – Esbo moderna konstmuseum presenterar en länge emotsedd retrospektiv över Howard Smith (1928–2021).
