Poetry Walk at Töölönlahti

Poetry Walk at Töölönlahti – Sunday, August 17, 2025 at 3 PM

Starting point: Hakasalmi Villa, Mannerheimintie 13 B
Duration: approx. 1.5 hours
Please note: The walking route is not accessible.

Join us for a literary walk exploring the environmental history of the Töölönlahti area, guided by poet and translator Pauli Tapio and museum educator Sauli Seppälä. The walk features poetic moments from Tapio’s work alongside snapshots of how the city’s landscapes have changed over time.

The themes of the walk also connect to the “Trash!” exhibition opened in April at the Helsinki City Museum, which explores what Helsinki’s waste has consisted of, where it has ended up, and how it has affected the environment.

In collaboration with: Helsinki City Museum
