Dress in Colour - Blue, Green and Red on 16 September 2026

Wear blue, green or red and get free entry to Gallen-Kallelan Museum's exhibition Sunshine and Joy of Life - Colourist Art in the 1910s on Wednesday 16 September, 11 am - 6 pm. The day brings together three Dress in Colour theme days from summer 2026 in rainbow colours.

June's colour was blue - inspiration can be drawn from Akseli Gallen-Kallela's painting Clouds Above the Lake (1904-1906): the blue of the sky, the dark blue of a passing rain cloud or the blue-green fading towards the horizon. July's colour was green, and its shades appear in the painting Heat (Against the Sun (From Leppävaara)) (1909) - from bright grass green to the deep darkness of a spruce forest. August's colour was red: the glow of pelargoniums in moonlight, the coral-red cloak from the Nandi Tribe painting or the brick-red background of Phyllis Sjöström's portrait - all work.
