Top 5 holiday gift tips:

1. EMMA technician Olli Lukkari: Family fun with the Konrad Mägi Colouring Book 

The Konrad Mägi Colouring Book makes an enchanting gift for the whole family, taking readers on a journey of discovery into Mägi’s paintings. Read the stories to learn interesting facts about Mägi’s life and get creative by colouring in his masterpieces! 
  
“This refreshingly different art book certainly didn’t sit idle on our coffee table! We grown-ups tried to copy Mägi’s style, while our youngest simply went wild with colours. We all loved the entertaining stories, which offered fascinating new insights into Mägi’s paintings.”

N.B.! The texts are in Finnish.

2. Artist Maaria Wirkkala: Brighten up the festive season with Rut Bryk design  

Päivi Rantala has designed a new range of Rut Bryk products for EMMA that will add colour and magic to your home and table settings. The serviettes, magnets, and other goodies make great gifts that you can send overseas along with a matching postcard.  

“Rut Bryk’s signature butterflies, Venetian palaces, and abstract reliefs are an inspiring addition to any occasion, whether you’re pampering yourself or celebrating the holidays with friends and loved ones.”

5. EMMA’s Executive Director Pilvi Kalhama: Konrad Mägi book for art lovers
