In Flight – Birds at Vapriikki 24 February 2012 – 21 April 2013

A new exhibition looks at the relationship between birds and Finns (and other Fenno-Ugrian peoples) over the millennia, starting with the creation myth in the Finnish national epic Kalevala and ending with Angry Birds. This humorous and playful exhibition, built around an information pack on Finnish birds and objects from the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in St Petersburg, examines the bird as both a cultural and a biological creature. For those who wish to sing like a bird, there is a karaoke room with bird‑themed songs, and children can curl up in a soft bird's nest.
