National Kalevala epic
The small museum building near the Metso library is filled with mostly unknown works of local artist Joseph Alanen. He used tempera painting technique with light, shady colours to create mythical pictures of our national epic Kalevala. The chosen style resembles comic book characters with strongly painted outlines and extreme positions. The impressive Lemminkäinen and the Great Serpent was finished in 1920 just before his early death at the age of 34 in the current world epidemic Spanish fever.

Contemporary art
Tampere Art Museum is Finland’s third oldest art museum. The 2022 Summer Exhibition presents the works of two Young Artists of the Year: Emma Jääskeläinen and Kristian Krokfors. There were not very many works. So the museum was quite quickly toured. Luckily, we have Finnish Museum cards and didn't have to pay the entrance fee of 12 euros.
