A symmetrical garden with neatly trimmed hedges and vibrant red, green, and white flower beds stretches toward a statue on a pedestal. The garden is flanked by pathways lined with blooming pink flowers and manicured shrubs, where people are strolling and sitting on benches. In the background, historic European buildings with ornate facades rise, including a towering Gothic-style spire. The scene is bathed in sunlight, casting long shadows across the landscape.

The Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux will be closed from Monday, the 17th of July until Friday, the 28th of July. 

In the meantime, you are very welcome to reach out to us via email and we will get back to you as soon as we return.

We wish everyone a beautiful summer,

Laura, Malin, Eppu, Ela and Anni!
