Culture in Pictures exhibits the best moments of 2011

Turku’s year as the European Capital of Culture was filled with wonderful experiences and memorable moments, with more than 5,000 events organized throughout the Turku region and archipelago. The Culture in Pictures exhibition showcases the best of the year 2011 in gallery Accademia dell'Arte until March 11.

The Culture in Pictures photography exhibition takes the viewer from the touching, sub-zero atmosphere of January’s opening ceremonies into the heat of the art sauna in summertime and concluding in the light extravaganza of the Thank You weekend in the middle of a dark December.

The photography exhibition will open at the Accademia dell'Arte gallery February 21. The gallery will display a diverse selection of 90 photos, thereby providing a summary of Turku’s unforgettable Capital of Culture year.

Play and Rewind dvd displaying the year 2011 in 70 minutes can also be seen at the exhibition.

The Culture in Pictures exhibition has free admission and is open from 21 February to 11 March, Tuesday to Friday from 10 am to 6 pm and weekends from 10 am to 4 pm at Accademia dell'Arte, which is located at Läntinen Rantakatu 3, next to the Turku Main Library.

In the spring, the exhibition will begin a tour around Finland all the way to Rovaniemi. In addition to the tour, the exhibition will visit for example Brussels.
