Havis Amanda "Mon amour"

The exhibition "Havis Amanda, mon amour" is organised by Helsinki City Art Museum in honour of the centenary of the famous statue of Ville Vallgren, the maiden of Helsinki. An exhibition catalogue has been published in Finnish, Swedish and English in which I played a very small part. This beautiful book will introduce you to the history of this symbol of the Finnish capital.
The exhibition is held in Jugendsali from 30.4 to 31.8.2008, Pohjoisesplanadi 19. Free entrance.
