    Rasvan Constantinescu: "Echoes Within: A Soul's Unveiling" (art exhibition)

    Entresse Library · Espoo

    "Welcome to Echoes Within: A Soul's Unveiling. I’m Rasvan, and my work has always been an invitation to look closer at what we see — and what we believe. This new body of work turns the lens entirely inward. It marks a deliberate shift from observing the world to peeling back the layers of the human spirit — exploring the quiet corners, hidden dualities, and emotional resonances that linger beneath the surface. This exhibition dives into the vibrant tension between the personas we project and the deep, unseen truths we carry within. I have tried to capture the beauty of confronting our own complexities, the vivid colours of consciousness and the voice of our hidden feelings. Surrounding these explorations of identity are landscapes of memory, nature, and emotional resonance. This internal dialogue of identity — marked by resilience and delicate grace — invites you to stop, listen closely to your own internal echoes, and discover what unveils when the noise of the world fades away." The exhibition can be visited during the library opening hours. Welcome!

    Goldsmith of the Year 2026

    Finnish Museum of Horology and Jewellery Kruunu · Espoo

    Mauri Haapamäki, founder of Aspenhill Design Oy, represents the rare and rapidly disappearing silversmithing tradition in Finland.

With this year’s selection, the Finnish Goldsmiths’ Association wishes to highlight the demanding and significant craftsmanship of silversmithing, a profession that is increasingly under threat within the goldsmithing industry. It is a craft that requires an exceptional level of skill and expertise – knowledge that can only be acquired through years of experience and practice.

    Howard Smith

    EMMA - Espoo Museum of Modern Art · Espoo

    The retrospective exhibition of Howard Smith (1928–2021) presents the versatile career of a well-loved and distinctive artist. The exhibition pays tribute to his open-minded visual expression and his influence on the Finnish art and design scene. Originally from New Jersey, Smith became known for his curious approach to art. His extensive career resembled a continuous journey of exploration into the possibilities of different materials, forms and techniques. Smith worked across a wide range of media, including ceramics, textile art, sculpture, papercut, collage and drawing. In addition, his designs extended into urban spaces through numerous public artworks. Alongside his art, Smith designed fabrics for Vallila and ceramics for Arabia. His much-loved design classics have found their way into many Finnish homes and everyday life. The long-awaited solo exhibition of Howard Smith is part of EMMA’s series highlighting both the classics of modernism and its reformers. It celebrates an artist whose contribution to Finnish art and design has been significant, while also emphasising the importance of multiculturalism as part of Finland’s art history. Smith stands out as a rare example of an African American artist who played a central role in shaping Finland’s visual culture. EMMA, Espoo 5.9.2026-7.2.2027 Admission fee 0-20€

    Traces of Craft - Museo Kruunu's Collections

    Finnish Museum of Horology and Jewellery Kruunu · Espoo

    Come and explore the museum’s collections in the long-awaited exhibition Traces of Craft. The collections of Museo Kruunu originated with the establishment of the Finnish School of Watchmaking in 1944 and the teaching collection it assembled through donations of various clocks, watches, and watchmaking tools. In 2015, a project was launched to expand the museum concept to include not only horology and the watchmaking tradition, but also jewellery and goldsmithing. The collections also include an extensive archive, library, and photograph collection. The exhibition Traces of Craft presents the museum’s collections in a broad scope, featuring both long-time favourites and more recent donations. In the exhibition, you can explore not only the museum’s own history through its collections, but also Finnish watch and jewellery history through the objects used here and the stories they tell. These objects reflect Finnish cultural history, and the collections preserve the craftsmanship of numerous skilled artisans from the past.
