Pedersen, who had a long career, was one of the most important artists of Danish modernism. He also belonged to the important international CoBrA group. The Fairytales of Carl-Henning Pedersen brings together key themes from Pedersen's career in the most comprehensive exhibition of the artist's work in Finland.

MUSEUM, ARCHITECTURE, SCULPTURE PARK

The Didrichsen Art Museum was born out of the love for art. The modern building was designed by architect Viljo Revell and it is located by the sea on Kuusisaari island in western Helsinki. The museum is surrounded by a sculpture park that is open for public during the museum's operating hours.
