The Ateneum Art Museum, part of the Finnish National Gallery, launches the exhibition "Arcana Borealis – Northern Women and Esotericism". The show presents over 200 works by 50 artists from the Nordic region and Sápmi, spanning the 19th century to today. Featured creators include Hilma af Klint, Tyra Kleen and Tove Jansson, with pieces ranging from textiles and ceramics to metal engravings, stained glass and mosaics. Curator Dr Marja Lahelma notes that earlier research on modern art and esotericism has largely ignored female contributors.
