Espoo Museum of Modern Art
Children’s Museum Festival: Pyjama Party
This weekend you don’t need to put on day clothes – we’re having a pyjama party!
Come to EMMA to explore the world of dreams, meet surprising creatures of the night, make grown-ups sleep, and listen to the very best dream stories. Anything can happen in the night! The festival weekend is full of things to do and experience together: workshops, performances, music and other exciting things in which art, architecture and history play an important part.
Other museums in Tapiola will also join the pyjama party that lasts the entire weekend 16–17 March 2024. Once again, the super popular Children’s Museum Festival offers plenty of exciting things to experience and see in the museums along Ahertajantie Road: WeeGee Exhibition Centre, EMMA and KAMU as well as the Leikki and Kruunu museums.
Please have a look at the weekend’s programme and timetable over here.
