Chappe

The art house by the sea, Chappe, has recently opened four new exhibitions that will remain open until March next year! The exhibition Wunderkammer: Silver Visions showcases fascinating photographs of Albert de la Chappelle’s extensive collection of antique silver. This collection reflects de la Chappelle’s personality and highlights his fondness for animal-themed objects, especially pigs.

Since 1970, Albert de la Chappelle began collecting Baroque silver, which forms the core of the exhibition Barock. This exhibition features the oldest items in his silver collection, primarily from the 17th century.

In addition to antique and Baroque silver, de la Chappelle also collected figures from pop culture. The playful and nostalgic exhibition Welcome to the Toy Box of Albert and Clara displays photographs of figurines, dolls, and stuffed animals, with several recognizable faces to spot!

The Nature & Destruction exhibition is a photo collection by artist duo Daniel & Geo Fuchs, created during their travels around the world. The photographs capture nature’s beauty and fragility, as well as its destructive force and the devastation caused by humans.

Fiskars Museum

At Fiskars Museum, visitors can explore the lives of the ironworks residents from the 1600s to the present day, immersing themselves in history through various living environments and activities. The exhibition showcases Fiskars’ production over the centuries, from Fiskars’ smallest scissors to the first gardening tools.

You can also visit the exhibition The Eternal Forest — a look at how the forest in and around Fiskars has changed over 375 years. On October 30 and November 30, there will be free guided tours offering insight into the exhibition! Starting November 30, enjoy the atmospheric themed exhibition Christmas at Hammarbacken, where you can learn how Christmas and New Year’s celebrations looked for workers and the gentry.
