For the first time ever, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York will feature a Finnish artist: the beloved Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946). Known across the Nordic countries for her highly original and deeply introspective style, Schjerfbeck’s thought-provoking works are finally taking their place in what Ambassador Jarmo Sareva, Consul General of Finland in New York, called “the museum of museums.” The exhibition runs from December 5, 2025, to April 5, 2026.
