Laterna is closed for now
Dear friends of Laterna Magica, We have come to a heartbreaking decision that we have to close Laterna Magica for now. We will try and do everything we can reopen when it is safe. We will nonetheless be here working behind the scenes starting Monday March 23rd. If you'd like to come and visit, let me know Eira tel.+359 44 283 1212 To be honest, situation is rather dire but we will continue building our webstore and try and find means to pay for the expenses without revenue. We realize we are not alone in this situation as most of Finnish cultural life is facing a similar situation. Stay healthy and strong. We wish you all the best. Kindly, Eira and Tapio from Laterna Magica

CLOSED FOR NOW
In Cellar and tile galleries we will have Timelessness, an exhibition by Markku Joutsen consisting of unique bromoil prints which have a painterly quality to them and lead the viewer into a world that is independent of time and place. In our Book Gallery a group exhibition PROSESSIT presents fine art prints from Toimela print maker courses which are taught by professional printmaker Sari Bremer. The exhibition covers several techniques used in fine art printing such as etching, aquatint, wood carving and carborundum.
