Petri Ala-Maunus and Mauno Markkula: Blazing Sky
13.3.2026–31.1.2027
The opening exhibition of HAM’s new collection space brings together two painters from different eras, Petri Ala-Maunus and Mauno Markkula. Separated by half a century, both reach beyond visible reality to create scenes that evoke not a place but a state of mind.

The Too Old to Die Young clothing collection is available now!
Inspired by the 90s rave culture in Berlin, the collection was created in collaboration with artist Petri Ala-Maunus and art fashion brand Pispala Clothing. The clothes feature Ala-Maunus’s self-portraits and landscape paintings, which are currently also on display at HAM’s Blazing Sky exhibition. Every garment purchased supports Finnish fashion design and the artist’s work.
