Spend Father`s Day on Sunday 12.11 in Kuopio museums!

On Father’s Day, why not grab the family and come and explore the exhibitions and activities in Kuopio City museums! In honor of the Sunday celebration all fathers and those who know themselves to be fathers can visit the museums free of charge. The museums are always free for anyone under the age of 18.

You can start your tour at the Old Kuopio Museum, where the exhibition about famous Finnish artist Juho Rissanen describes the artist’s childhood and Kuopio of that time.

After Old Kuopio Museum, we recommend taking dad on a mini-vacation to the warmth of Miami Beach to Kuopio Art Museum, where you can take selfies with the whole family on a beach. The museum’s exhibition introduces you to Juho Rissanen as an artist, and of course to his works, such as Savo’s own Mona Lisa – Hauta-Heikki’s grandmother.

Also it is worth to visit Kuopio Museum and the sandwich buffet at Café Kantti. Reservations are available for the café’s special cakes. In addition to the renewed basic exhibitions at Kuopio Museum, suitable for the whole family, you can admire some of the world’s finest nature photography at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, produced by Natural History Museum in London. How many fathers of the animal world can you find in the exhibitions?
