Huimaa! – Circus Magic and Stories: A guided tour of the exhibition explores the history and present day of Finnish circus. Along the way, we see how the circus has changed from the travelling troupes of the 1800s into today's international art form. The tour considers what makes the circus so fascinating, what it is like to grow up as a circus artist, and how much practice the skills require. In addition, we become acquainted with touring life, the various performance venues, and how the circus can be used to support wellbeing and community. Finally, we discuss together what the circus means today and why it still amazes, inspires, and makes viewers see the world from a new perspective. Two free guided tours are arranged: one for primary school, and one for lower secondary school (young people). The maximum group size is 20 people.
