Pyykkitupa's windows display UV light artworks made by children and young people, including lanterns and drawings. The pieces explore the Children's Rights Week theme Every Child Is Valuable and include children's own stories and wishes. Families view the exhibition independently from outside the building: the artworks are visible by day and take on a new look under UV spotlights after dark.
