“Welcome to the fantastic world of Nordic children’s books! In a unique compilation, we present works by thirteen illustrators from Denmark, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Åland. The exhibition takes young and old on a journey into a world where children boldly discover life, courageous and adventurous, thoughtful and empathetic, cheerful and playful. And where nature, with its plants and animals, is always present. In addition to the famous Moomins, you will encounter droll monsters, clever goats, and flying buses, among other things. There is so much to discover! Illustrations by Emma AdBåge (SE), Kjell Aukrust (NO), Linda Bondestam (FI), Amanda Chanfreau (AX), Rán Flygenring (IS), Anna Jacobina Jacobsen (DK), Tove Jansson (FI), Áslaug Jónsdóttir (IS), Maria Bach Kreutzmann (GL), Gry Moursund (NO), Bárður Oskarsson (FO), Jakob Martin Strid (DK), and Stina Wirsén (SE).. …” (translated with the free version of www.deepl.com/translator)
