The exhibitions will be on until 27 March 2022, after which the Ateneum building will undergo ventilation renovation 

When the exhibitions end, the Ateneum’s ventilation systems will be renovated, which means that the museum will be closed to the public for about nine months. During the renovation, the Ateneum’s ventilation systems will be renewed to meet the demands set by both the works of art and the increased number of visitors. The museum will open to the public in early 2023.

Until the start of the renovation, the Ateneum will also be showing the collection exhibition The Stories of Finnish Art and the Fokus Gallery exhibition Eino Ruutsalo’s Experimental 1960s. After the renovation, the Ateneum will open a completely new collection exhibition.

The Modern Woman 

The Modern Woman discusses the role and position of Finnish women artists in the decades of 20th century modernism. The exhibition delves into the role of women in the midst of the social, political and cultural changes of the era. The artists featured in the exhibition are Helene Schjerfbeck, Sigrid Schauman, Ellen Thesleff, Elga Sesemann, Hilda Flodin, Sigrid af Forselles, Gunvor Grönvik, Eila Hiltunen, Lea Ignatius, Helmi Kuusi, Laila Pullinen and Essi Renvall.

Dialogue: Elina Brotherus and Hannele Rantala

The exhibition is based on the long friendship between the photographers Elina Brotherus (b. 1972) and Hannele Rantala (b. 1952), and the discussions between the two friends about art. The works are based on the assignments and messages exchanged between the two artists that each interpreted in their own way. The assignments were set in the spirit of Fluxus and poetry. Along with the works by Brotherus and Rantala, a number of forgotten, early-20th-century woman photographers will be highlighted.

Välkommen till presskonferensen för Eero Järnefelt-utställningen på onsdag den 3 april 2024 kl. 10.15.20.3.2024 12:34:53 EET | Tiedote

Presskonferensen för utställningen hålls onsdagen 3.4.2024 kl. 10.15 både på Ateneum och på nätet – noggrannare information nedan. På Konstmuseet Ateneum ses 5.4–25.8.2024 en utställning som omfattar Eero Järnefelts (1863–1937) hela karriär. Järnefelt växte upp i en kosmopolitisk kulturfamilj och var en mästerlig natur- och porträttmålare som i sin konst ständigt sökte känsla och sanning. Den nu aktuella utställningshelheten presenterar hans omfattande produktion och hans betydelse för Finlands konst och för finskheten. De mångsidiga naturskildringarna kan få betraktaren att undra om den natur konstnären skildrade på 1800- och 1900-talen ännu existerar.

Näyttelyn tiedotustilaisuus on ke 3.4.2024 sekä Ateneumissa että verkossa klo 10.15 – lisätiedot alempana. Ateneumin taidemuseossa nähdään 5.4.–25.8.2024 mestarillisen luonto- ja henkilökuvaajan, tunnetta ja totuutta etsineen Eero Järnefeltin (1863–1937) koko uraa käsittävä näyttely. Kokonaisuus esittelee kosmopoliitin kulttuuriperheen kasvatin mittavaa tuotantoa sekä taiteilijan merkitystä Suomen taiteelle sekä suomalaisuudelle. Monipuoliset luontokuvaukset saavat pohtimaan, onko taiteilijan 1800- ja 1900-luvuilla kuvaamaa luontoa enää olemassa.

Welcome to the Eero Järnefelt exhibition press conference on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at 10:1520.3.2024 12:34:53 EET | Press release

The press conference for the exhibition will be held on Wednesday 3 April 2024 at 10:15, on site at the Ateneum and online. For more information, see below. From 5 April to 25 August 2024, the Ateneum Art Museum will present an exhibition that covers the entire career of Eero Järnefelt (1863–1937). A master depicter of nature and people, Järnefelt always sought emotion and truth. The exhibition will present the extensive oeuvre of Järnefelt, who grew up in a cultured, cosmopolitan family, and it will explore the artist’s significance for Finnish art and Finnishness. The varied nature depictions raise the question of whether the natural environments captured by the artist in the 19th and 20th centuries still exist.
