Halosenniemi
Pekka Halonen is one of the most beloved artists of the ‘Golden Era’ of Finnish art. A versatile artist and master portrayer of Finnish landscapes and people, he absorbed the latest international trends and ingeniously applied these to the depiction of Finnish nature. The countryside around Lake Tuusula provided him with a rich source of ideas and inspiration, and it was there that Halonen developed the distinctive style for which he is renowned. Today the home has been turned in to a museum.
The museum hosts annually 4-5 theme exhibitions showcasing Halonen’s art side by side with the work of his contemporaries and later generations of artists up to the present day.
The distance between the parking lot and the museum is about 100 meters. There is a partial guard rail in the staircase leading to the atelier building. A ramp for the wheelchair can be installed in the kitchen staircase – it is desirable to inform about this need in advance. The angle of climb is sharp, so assistance is required. Guide dogs are welcome to Halosenniemi. More information about the accessibility on the website of Halosenniemi (only in Finnish).
