No, you’re not dreaming – these really are children being transformed, one after another, into puppets. In the factory imagined by Alice Laloy, Collodi’s famous tale takes a very different turn.
Gone is the Blue Fairy who brings a wooden puppet to life; here, it is the living who are turned into inanimate, standardized objects.
Alice Laloy envisions a dystopian society in which children undergo a rite of passage through an assembly line. Step by step, adults shape them into perfect puppets.
Yet it is through their own will that the children rediscover movement, freeing themselves from the strings that animate them, until they achieve complete emancipation.
A stage performance by the French La Compagnie s´Appelle Reviens is designed for 22 performers, children and adults, and two teenage percussionists. The performance is the result of a photographic research project conducted by Alice Laloy between 2014 and 2018 entitled Pinocchio(s).

The first solo exhibition in Helsinki by internationally acclaimed South African-born artist Daniel Kruger (b. 1951) presents his distinctive jewellery and ceramic works. Kruger’s art brings together influences from his upbringing in South Africa and Namibia with decades of working in Germany – creating a dialogue between nature and culture, history and the present, and the precious and the everyday.
Kruger is known for his fearless combinations of materials and techniques. Precious metals, gemstones and pearls may appear alongside glass, paper, textiles, pigments and found objects. His sculptural jewellery is at once made to adorn the body, to be touched and handled, and to exist as an autonomous work of art. In his ceramics, history, ornament and contemporary culture often take on unexpected and playful forms.
Fragments of the Future explores memory, material and the layers of time. For Kruger, the past is not a closed archive but a living reservoir from which objects, forms and memories can enter new contexts and move towards the future. The exhibition invites us to look at familiar materials and objects from a new perspective – with sensuality, curiosity and an open mind.

Most of us have probably wished we could sneak a peek into the past to see how people used to live. Now, you can do exactly that and step onboard our Time Machine that whisks you away to visit a very lively and authentic Helsinki of a hundred years past.
Signe Brander’s photographs of Helsinki come alive
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Signe Brander, a new 2.0 version has been created of the Time Machine virtual experience. The new Time Machine brings Signe Brander’s photographs to life with the help of VR technology to create an immersive and interactive spatial installation that takes visitors on a journey through Helsinki’s past. Time Machine 2.0 will whisk visitors away to early 20th-century Helsinki, where wooden houses are making way for a new city of stone castles. The new city is a mix of national romanticism, Art Nouveau and Nordic classicism – old traditions and new winds.
During Brander’s lifetime, Helsinki was for the first time visible from new vantage points, such as the National Museum’s tower. In addition to the bird’s-eye view, Brander also photographed panoramas at street level, capturing everyday details of urban life. Time Machine 2.0 shows projections based on Brander’s panorama photos of Kallio Church and St Nicholas’ Church (now Helsinki Cathedral).
Born on 15 April 1869, Brander photographed Helsinki and life in Helsinki at the beginning of the previous century, when she was hired by the Helsinki City Board of Antiq...

Near the Senate Square, in the oldest city blocks of Helsinki, you can find the blue-grey Sederholm House, built in 1757. It is the oldest house in Helsinki. There, as a part of the Helsinki City Museum, is located Children’s Town, an exhibition especially targeted at the youngest citizens. In Children’s Town, children and their companions can learn more about Helsinki’s history through own experiences and joint activities.
Children’s Town offers an opportunity to jump into a horse-drawn carriage or steer a ship in 18th century surroundings. For the youngest museum visitors, there is a special marine play, reading and rest corner. You can study everyday items from the 1970s in Grandma’s House and watch the favourite TV shows of the time. On weekends, a museum grandma or grandpa is at home in Grandma’s House. In the 1930s elementary school class, you can just picture a schoolmaster with a pointer and a stern face.

You can practise your writing skills, using old tools from sandbox to blackboard, and in another room, you can play with cars or decorate the dolls’ house as you like.

Kaupunginmuseon tutkija Tapio Juutinen johdattaa osallistujia katsomaan Helsingin lähiöitä niiden kuvien kautta, joita ei koskaan valittu Tuntematon lähiö -näyttelyyn . Luento avaa, miten arki, hiljaiset hetket ja vaikeasti kuvattavat ympäristöt jäävät usein visuaalisen kertomuksen ulkopuolelle. Samalla tarkastellaan, miten valokuvan valinnat muokkaavat käsityksiämme lähiöistä – ja mitä jää piiloon. Millainen lähiö päätyy museoon asti? Tule pohtimaan, millainen on lähiö, jota emme ole oppineet näkemään. Luennolle on vapaa pääsy!
Kulttuurikulmassa 4A:ssa tapahtuu joka kuukauden toisena keskiviikkona. Ohjelmassa on luentoja ja keskusteluja historiasta ja kulttuurista liittyen kaupunginmuseon teemoihin ja ajankohtaisiin aiheisiin.

Around one in three Finns live in suburbs, but discussions about suburbs are often based on outdated and negatively charged preconceptions. Helsinki City Museum's exhibition The Unknown Suburb reverses the stigmas associated with suburbs and challenges the perception of suburbs being nests of boredom, misery and poverty. The exhibition aims to look beyond the surface and also explore the love that locals have for their neighbourhoods.
The themes are presented vividly through participatory exercises, an immersive sound environment, tactile façade materials and graffiti by artist Kim Somervuori , among other methods. The Helsinki residents interviewed for the exhibition get to share their everyday and sometimes surprising experiences of their home suburbs.
Slab architecture and refrigerator houses
The exhibition takes visitors on a journey from two-billion-year-old bedrock to a suburban apartment block of the 2000s. The architecture brings together at a glance, through spatial means, the history of Finnish suburbs from the 1940s onwards, with their changing building types. The story culminates at the heart of the suburb, a shopping centre.
At the City Museum, visitors get to explore homely slab architecture, the ‘refrigerator houses’ of Pihlajamäki, the East Helsinki identity and identities outside the city centre, as well as other dimensions of the suburb that are rarely spoken about.
Curators are Research Fellow Laura Berger and Professor Panu Savolainen . Exhibition Planner Alpi Vaalaja and Graphic Designer of the Year 2025 Päivi Helander have...

For Bo Carpelan (1926–2011), a prominent figure in Finnish literature, music was a beloved hobby. Now, in honour of the 100th anniversary of the author's birth, FiBO and the author's descendants have planned a program that Carpelan would have wanted to hear.
FiBO's artistic director from 2014 to 2017, violinist Antti Tikkanen, is the leader and soloist of the concert.
The concert continues FiBO's period instrument performances of works by Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) with his later suite for violin and string orchestra (op. 117, 1929).
Axel Carpelan (1858–1919) was a friend, supporter and interlocutor of Sibelius. Bo Carpelan's bestselling novel Axel (1986) explores the inner world of Axel, the author’s grandfather’s brother, as well as his social isolation and his relationship to the glorified Sibelius.
FiBO performs symphonies from the year 1764 by Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791).
The program is complemented by Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685–1750) violin concerto in A minor (BWV 1041).

Uskallatko tutustua Helsingin puistokatujen kummituksiin? Kuule aavemaisimmat tarinat Helsingin kulttuurihistoriasta kaupunginmuseon kummituskävelyillä.
Museomme oppaat vievät sinut kävelyn aikana sisälle kaupungin mysteereihin. Miltä näyttää kaupungin vanhimman kivitalon karmivalla ullakolla? Kuka kummittelee Ruttopuistossa? Kävelyllä tulee tutuksi myös ravintola Kappelin aave ja Aleksanterin teatterin levoton sielu.
Miten kummitustarinat ovat siirtyneet helsinkiläiseltä toiselle vuosikymmenten ajan ja mitä ne kätkevät sisälleen?
Kävelyillä ei ole varsinaista ikärajaa, mutta toivomme pienimpienkin osallistujien olevan yli kymmenvuotiaita.
Puistokatujen kummitukset -kävely alkaa kaupunginmuseolta (Aleksanterinkatu 16), jatkuu pitkin Esplanadia ja Bulevardia ja päättyy Home Hotel Jugendiin (Lönnrotinkatu 29).

Keisarin Helsinki -arkkitehtuurikävely vie sinut Helsingin pääkaupungiksi rakentumisen ensimmäiseen sataan vuoteen ja sen keskeisiin monumentteihin.
Miten pienestä rannikkokaupungista kasvoi uuden suuriruhtinaskunnan pääkaupunki? Senaatintorin ympärille nousseet rakennukset ammensivat vaikutteita erityisesti Pietarin ja Berliinin uusklassismista, jonka ihanteina olivat symmetria, pylväsjärjestelmät sekä muut antiikin ja renessanssin arkkitehtuurista tutut muodot. 1800-luvun loppupuolella Senaatintorin kylkeen kehittyi Suomen Pankin, Säätytalon ja Kansallisarkiston luoma julkisten rakennusten pienempi tori, joka myös nojautuu renessanssin ihanteisiin, mutta on luonteeltaan kansallisempi.
Tervetuloa kokemaan, mitä arkkitehtuuri kertoo Helsingin kasvusta, vallasta ja identiteetistä – ja miten menneisyyden valinnat näkyvät kaupungissa edelleen tänä päivänä.

Millainen on maamme suurin yhtenäinen jugend-asuinalue? Katajanokan jugend ‑kävely esittelee alueen kansainvälisestikin tunnettuja huippukohteita.
Mikä johti kaupungin ahtaimmin asutun hökkelikylän muuttumiseen muutamassa vuodessa Suomen ensimmäiseksi kokonaan kivestä rakennetuksi kaupunginosaksi?
Kävelyllä sinulle selviää, miten kansallistunteen herääminen, poliittisten aatteiden törmäykset, uuden arkkitehtuurin ja arkkitehtipolven esiinmarssi vaikuttivat tämän ainutlaatuisen kaupunginosan syntyyn viime vuosisadan vaihteessa. Kävely alkaa Helsingin kaupunginmuseolta, Aleksanterinkatu 16, ja päättyy Luotsikadulle.

Pohjoismaiden suurin muotoilufestivaali Helsinki Design Week levittäytyy syksyllä kaupunginmuseoon. Tervetuloa keskustelemaan lähiöiden merkityksestä!
Tuntematon lähiö -näyttelyn kuraattorit Laura Berger ja Panu Savolainen keskustelevat useassa lähiössä asuneen Vilho Räsäsen sekä pihlajistolaisen aktiivin Anna-Lisa Korhosen kanssa muun muassa sukupolvien ja kulttuurien välisistä eroista, lähiöiden muutoksista ajan saatossa, ja miksi he ovat ylpeitä asuinpaikoistaan. Keskustelijat puhuvat myös siitä, millaisia kohtaamisia lähiöissä syntyy ja voiko yhteisöllisyyttä rakentaa.
Tapahtuma on osa Helsinki Design Weekin ja Tuntematon lähiö -näyttelyn ohjelmistoa. Tilaisuuteen on vapaa pääsy. Tervetuloa mukaan!

The Finnish Baroque Orchestra chamber ensemble performs works from the century of the House of Nobility's construction, including music by Crusell and Sibelius.
The Swedish House of Nobility was founded in 1626, 400 years ago. The founding of the Finnish House of Nobility became a topical issue during Russian rule, and the neo-Gothic House of Nobility was completed in 1862.
The German cello virtuoso Bernhard Romberg (1767–1841) toured Europe as far as the Russian Empire. His symphonies were also performed in Helsinki at concerts of the Academic Music Society.
Crusell (1775–1838) did his most important life's work in Stockholm, but even in a letter he wrote to Johan Ludvig Runeberg later in life, he still saw himself as a Finn. He was still a member of the Royal Court Orchestra in Stockholm when Fredrik Pacius began his career as a violinist in the orchestra.
Sibelius's (1865–1957) En saga is one of the works from his early Symbolist period. Sibelius characterised the mysteriously enchanting work as profoundly Finnish.
