Kari's
Pavilion
Emil
Wikström's grandson, the celebrated cartoonist Kari Suomalainen,
donated most of his drawings and paintings to Visavuori foundation
in 1988. Architect Erkki Helamaa designed a new exhibition
hall in Visavuori where these drawings could be exhibited.
This building was named Kari's Pavilion and was opened in
1990.
The
Visavuori foundation has a collection of app. 9000 political
cartoons as well as other drawings and paintings by Kari Suomalainen.
In the upstairs exhibition hall is an exhibition of Kari's
political cartoons featuring a different theme every year.
The
downstairs exhibition hall also hosts visiting exhibitions
by other artists.
