A Matter of the Heart – How Collection Kakkonen Came to EMMA
A Matter of the Heart tells the story of Finnish businessman Kyösti Kakkonen and how his unique art collection found its way on display at EMMA. The documentary takes a peek into Kakkonen’s home, delving into his vast art storage room, and examines the museum’s work with unique art objects. How did Kyösti Kakkonen become a collector? Why did glass and ceramic art become his passion? And how was this large collection curated into an exhibition at EMMA?
