An exhibition of works by Albert Edelfelt (1854–1905) will be displayed at the Ateneum Art Museum from 5 May to 17 September 2023. The comprehensive exhibition will examine the entire career of one of Finland’s most famous and beloved artists. Edelfelt was an influential international figure who was a trailblazer and builder of connections for later Finnish artists, especially in Paris. Advance ticket sales for the exhibition will begin on 14 March.
The collection exhibition raises some of the most pressing questions of the 2000s while providing new insights into the formation of Ateneum s collections. The star of next spring s temporary exhibition is Albert Edelfelt, whose retrospective is returning home. Meanwhile, some colour and light are added to the autumn by Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist art.
