Mythbústers: Nordic-Baltic Comics Exhibition
When you think of the Nordic and Baltic regions, your first associations might be trolls and Vikings, the midnight sun and polar nights, saunas and ice swimming, hygge and fika, Nokia and IKEA.
Maybe you have also heard about their excellent school systems and strong social welfare models.
But what is behind these myths? 16 comic artists from across the Nordics and Baltics created works that reflect their unique perspectives on life in the region.
