Irmelin Sandman Lilius
A Hanko resident and the creator of Tulavall
8.10.2026–29.8.2027
Irmelin Sandman Lilius is a well-known Finnish-Swedish writer and artist, whose works, translated into several languages, have fascinated readers for decades.
During Irmelin’s anniversary year, we are presenting her life’s work aiming to attract new readers to her books and art while also highlighting Hanko as a city of culture.
The children’s room at the Hanko Museum, opened in May 2026, will also feature Irmelin’s work and the world of her stories.
Through this exhibition and related events, we want to inspire a love of creativity and reading, particularly among children and young people.
Alongside the exhibition about Irmelin Sandman Lilius, we will present works by visual artists from Hanko who have drawn inspiration from Irmelin’s art and production.
