MUSEUM CARD CLUB: DAY TRIP FROM TAMPERE TO THE OPENING OF THE STIINA SAARISTO RETROSPECTIVE AT SERLACHIUS
Friday 21 Nov 2025 from 2:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Come from Tampere to Mänttä to celebrate the opening of Stiina Saaristo's Always Happy retrospective! You can also see all the other open exhibitions of Serlachius, both at the Serlachius Headquarters and at the Serlachius Manor. The only cost is a return ticket with a shuttle bus arranged by Serlachius from Tampere railway station directly to the museum and back.
Stiina Saaristo's retrospective Always Happy presents the artist's witty and sharply observant works from 30 years’ time. Saaristo is known for her large, detailed drawings that combine macabre humour with life's pressure points. In an insightful and humorous way, she depicts the rejected aspects of a person, such as the desire for power, jealousy and aggression. READ MORE about the exhibition >>
