Sauna is Life: Sauna Culture in Finland Preview Night, Thursday, October 17, 2024 5-8pm
Celebrate Finnish culture at this sneak preview of Sauna is Life: Sauna Culture in Finland!
The act of taking a sauna is an inherent part of Finnish culture. Sauna is Life: Sauna Culture in Finland explores the Finnish sauna tradition with a model sauna and sauna objects as well as stories, photos, and videos shared with us from home and abroad. To celebrate the exhibit, ASHM will host the Finlandia Foundation National's performer of the year, Miska Kajanus! Miska is a Finnish-American actor, comedian, musician, and filmmaker living in Los Angeles. He will present his solo show, My Immigrant Story, a comedic monologue in which he shares his funny, lifelong journey from Finland to America. The event will also feature treats from the Finnish Arctic Swan Bakery.
This event is free to the public with light refreshments served. Please RSVP to help us plan: https://www.americanswedish.org/events/exhibition-preview-night-sauna-life-sauna-culture-finland
