Information about the exhibition and artworks
This page is for anyone who needs detailed information about the exhibition or wants to prepare for their museum visit.
Before your exhibition visit
The Leandro Erlich exhibition can only be viewed by a limited number of people at a time.
We recommend that you buy tickets online in advance – even if you have a Museum Card or are under 18!
Please also remember to book a free ticket online for children in prams.
If you buy a ticket online, you can enter the exhibition whenever you want.
Upon arrival
If you have bought a ticket online, you can enter the Museum through the barrier-free entrance on Lasipalatsi Square. The door-opening button is on the left of the entrance.
Show your ticket to the staff at the nearest available ticket desk. Your ticket will be scanned and you will receive an entry sticker. Please place the sticker somewhere visible, for example on your chest.
If you are buying a ticket on the spot and the Museum is busy, there will be a queue for tickets at the main entrance.
Please note that without a prepaid timed ticket, you may not get into the Museum at the exact time you want.
With a prepaid ticket bought online you do not have to queue at the main entrance.
Welcome to Amos Rex!
Feel free to ask the staff for help – we are happy to assist.

General Information about the exhibition
Amos Rex presents an exhibition by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich (b. 1973, Buenos Aires), featuring both smaller works and large-scale participatory installations.
His works play with architectural illusions, gravity, and perspective, creating situations where viewers cannot fully trust what they see.
Erlich’s art has been exhibited worldwide, including at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Barbican Centre in London, MoMA in New York, and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires.
This exhibition at Amos Rex marks the first presentation of Leandro Erlich’s work in Finland. It is curated by Anastasia Isakova and Kai Kartio.
