Social Club – A Building for the Citizens
Come see the new exhibition by the Museum of North Ostrobothnia, Seurahuone – kaupunkilaisten talo, kuvia vuosien varrelta (fin. Social Club – the house of the citizens, pictures from along the years). The building that was originally built as a social club – i.e. a restaurant, reception space and hotel – has gathered citizens together for cultural events since its beginning. The exhibition will be open until August 2025.
Kaupunkitarinoita
In the Kaupunkitarinoita Exhibition (fin. City Stories), 5-20 year-old students of Oulu Art School introduce themselves through their artworks. The students have explored the city and found stories that inspired their artworks. The basis of the works are, for example, the student’s personal lives, the present, the city’s history, built and natural environments as well as various people and characters.
