Guided Tour: 24 fps / Reframing Cinema

In 24 fps / Reframing Cinema paintings come to life and reveal their secrets with the help of moving images.

The exhibition presents new cinematic interpretations of some of the most memorable works held in our collection.

The original artworks and the short films they inspired will be shown side by side, surrounded by the sets and props.

The featured works include Wilho Sjöström’s Portrait of a Dancer (1912), Severin Falkman’s Bride (1878) and Arvo Makkonen’s Ragnar Ekelund Paints (1917).

Hämeenlinna Art Museum and Aalto University’s Department of Film have worked together for many years to bring about this exhibition.

As part of the collaboration, students were invited to choose artworks from the museum collection to inspire their own creative practice and worked together in multidisciplinary teams to produce everything from short films and audio works to scripts.

Tickets: €12 / €10

Free admission for visitors under 25 and students (from 14 October 2025 to 3 May 2026) and with the Museum Card or the annual pass for Hämeenlinna City Museum
