One of Albert Edelfelt’s frequent exhibition guests was his dear friend, the exuberant sculptor Ville Vallgren (1855–1940). These two artists formed a deep bond in their childhood years in Porvoo, a friendship that continued closely in Paris until Edelfelt's death in 1905.
In December 2025, it will be 170 years since the birth of Ville Vallgren.
In honor of the summer exhibition anniversary, our head chef and team have crafted a special Ville Vallgren Menu inspired by the spirit of the era.
For a festive start, we recommend the Viva Ville Cocktail or Viva Ville Mocktail
