It will be an autumn holiday that’s equal parts cozy and mysterious at The Nordic Watercolour Museum. We’ve put together a programme with activities for all ages – whether you’re feeling creative, want to watch movies in the dark, or only have a little time left in the evening. Welcome, once or several times!
Drawing inspiration from the current exhibitions, we create artworks that moves between reality and dreams, light and shadow, in our Autumn Holiday Workshop. Welcome into a dim studio where secrets and mysterious tales take centre stage. The workshop is open 28 October–2 November at 11 am–3 pm, and admission is free for everyone. No pre-booking is required, but places are limited.

Did you know that one of the artists in our current exhibitions has been inspired by Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki? During the autumn school break, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy two of Miyazaki’s beloved animated films, whether you’re discovering them for the first time or revisiting an old favorite. The screenings are free of charge, no pre-booking is required and we offer something to snack on.
29 October at 5–6.30 pm: My Neighbor Totoro
30 October at 7–9 pm: Spirited away
Take the day as it comes, without having to fit in the autumn holiday programme. The museum and all exhibitions are open Tuesday–Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm. Are you under 26 years old? Then admission is free! Don’t miss the chance to borrow one of our Discovery Bags, filled with fun tools that help you see art from new perspectives. Magnifying glasses, hourglasses, and other tools might come in handy when you tackle the challenges on the Discovery Cards found in each bag.
If you'd like to create on your own (or if the studio is full), head upstairs in the museum. There, we've have set up a workshop to celebrate our jubilee year, where you can explore the magic of watercolour pencils. You'll also find books on technique to browse, perfect for sparking inspiration to help you get started. What makes this workshop extra special is that it's open during the museum's regular opening hours, meaning there's always space to let your creativity flow.
While at the museum
Why not treat yourself to a lovely fika or lunch while visiting the museum? Relax with something tasty while enjoying the beautiful sea view. Whether you fancy a warm cup of coffee or a hearty lunch, there’s something for every taste.
