On Wednesday the Field Trip group did a visit to The National Museum of Finland. I'm part of the museum group, who organized this visit too. We met at the museum at 4 pm, and went to see the exhibitions. Our main interest was the exhibition which is called "Come to Finland". There's a collection of old tourism posters, that are advertising Finland as a traveling destination to foreign people. There were many interesting posters, that were advertising for example old ferry companies, airlines, cities and nature resorts. I wasn't aware, that many famous artists, for example Akseli Gallen-Kallela, have done also this kind of tourism posters. One of my hobbies is traveling, so it was interesting to see how Finland has been presented in these posters in the history. Some of the posters were actually really funny! Here are some examples of the posters:
We also went to see other exhibitions, the other temporary exhibition was called The Arctic Spirit. There were some artifacts of people, who live in Arctic areas. The collection was quite small. We also went to see some of the permanent collections, parts of it are closed at the moment because of the museum's updating process. Since one of us studies art history, she could tell us a little bit more about the objects shown at the exhibition.
We were totally two hours at the museum, we needed to leave at 6 pm when it closed. It was nice to see others again, next week we will have a meeting again.
