On Kiasma's July free admission day, entry to the exhibitions is free throughout the museum's opening hours. The clearest family-friendly parts are the drawing cart in the exhibition A Dream in Four Colours, where visitors can borrow drawing supplies and get ideas from a guide, and the In A Dream World workshop in the Seminar room, where visitors make a collaborative drawing with coloured pencils. The day also includes guide tips for exploring the exhibitions, a live activation of Jani Ruscica's artwork Flatlands, and open guided tours.
