Children's Own Art Exhibition is open during July 2026 at Meilahti Manor's Dance Pavilion. Families can explore artworks made by children independently, and children can make a new artwork for the exhibition on site. Paper and drawing materials are ready to use, and staff hang the finished works on the walls at the end of the day.

Accessibility
Accessibility is a key limitation for the Dance Pavilion: official Helsinki Day information for the same site says Meilahti Art Hall is accessible, there is a ramp behind the manor but the spaces are not fully accessible, and the Dance Pavilion is not accessible. Check the route and space in advance if step-free access is essential.

Plan your visit

Practical notes
The Dance Pavilion is the yellow building to the right of the Manor Cafe at Tamminiementie 8. The visit is self-guided and there is no instructor on site, so adults should allow time both to look at the artworks and for children to draw at their own pace.
Opening-hours notes
The exhibition is open 1.7.-31.7.2026 from Tuesday to Sunday at 11:00-18:00. The Dance Pavilion is closed on Mondays.
Booking notes
A self-guided exhibition visit does not require booking.
Price notes
The exhibition has free entry.
Age notes
Families can visit with children of all ages. Making an artwork works best for children who can spend a short time drawing at a table; smaller children need adult support.
Seasonal notes
This is a temporary July 2026 exhibition, not a permanent activity. Check the official page before going and remove or archive the content after the exhibition period.
Weather notes
The exhibition is indoors and works for a rainy, cold, or windy day. Moving around the manor area still happens outdoors, so bring suitable clothing for children in rain or heat.
