Today we celebrate Kalevala and the Finnish Culture. The Kalevala is a 19th-century work of
epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Finnish and Karelian oral folklore and mythology.
I have shared before these photos of the Finnish National Museum, but in honor of Kalevala once more.
Gesellius, Lindgren & Saarinen.
The museum's entrance hall ceiling has ceiling frescoes in Kalevala theme, painted by
Akseli Gallén-Kallela. The frescoes, painted in 1928, are based on the frescoes painted by him
in the Finnish Pavilion of the Paris World Fair in 1900.

Always interesting; I’ve read a bit more at Wiki. Thanks for sharing, also for the museum and the beautiful ceiling frescoes. Very impressive and must be breathtaking standing in this entrance looking up at the ceiling.
