\nAbout the exhibition:<\/a>
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tree\u201d<\/strong> is an exhibition that explores the concept of trees in children\u2019s books, featuring illustrations from Nordic picture books. These books are part of The Bookworm, a Nordic database of educational materials related to books nominated for The Nordic Council Children and Young People\u2019s Literature Prize. The database is free and accessible to everyone in all Nordic languages at bokslukaren.org.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The gathering point in the exhibition is a tree, made by Finnish artist Corinna Helenelund. The tree sculpture, located at the heart of the exhibition, is an interactive textile sculpture, where visitors can gather to enjoy reading a book, playing and experiencing original artworks and illustrations from the featured books. The exhibition offers an insight into the process of creating an illustration by mixing original artworks and sketches with finished prints. The Tree exhibition promotes image reading -beyond languages and encourages guests to read books from the images.<\/p>\n

Visitors can take home books and practice image reading and be inspired by their artworks by renting available Bookworm bags that hold a selection of the books that the exhibition is based on.<\/p>\n
