Upcoming ex­hi­bi­tions

In fall 2019 Amos Rex will exhibit the works of the modernist Birger Carlstedt (1907 – 1975) in an extensive retrospective exhibition spanning the artist’s entire career, from his early abstract experiments in the 1920’s to his later concretist period which began in the 1950’s. The exhibition will include the reconstruction of Carlstedt’s interiors for the café Le Chat Doré which opened in 1929 on Unioninkatu in central Helsinki and was in business throughout the prohibition.

Egypt of Glory will be shown in two parallel locations – at Amos Rex, Helsinki, and at the Art Museum of Estonia’s Kumu Art Museum, Tallinn. The rare two-part exhibition is based on one of the most important collections of Ancient Egyptian art and culture outside Egypt – the collection of Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy.
