Children’s Museum Festival: 90s Party
Jump into a time machine and travel back to the energetic 1990s with us! Rhythms, looks and beloved toys and characters lead you to experience both the nostalgia and the magic of the decade.
The much-loved weekend of events offers lots of fun things to do, including workshops, performances and music for all the family. The programme is inspired by art, architecture and history. The most important are, of course, shared joy and unforgettable experiences.
The Children’s Museum Festival is organised by EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Exhibition Centre WeeGee, KAMU Espoo City Museum, Leikki – the Museum of Play and the Finnish Museum of Horology and Jewellery Kruunu. The festival collaboration also includes the Espoo School of Art and the Arkki School of Architecture for Children and Youth. In cooperation with AFRY.
