Please join us for a private visit to the Japanomania exhibition at the Ateneum Art Museum on Monday 25 April at 14.00. The Annual General Meeting of the Birch and the Star will take place after the visit at 15.00. This is your opportunity to hear about our activities and our exciting plans for the future. Come along and have your say! We will meet in front of the Ateneum Art Museum (Kaivokatu 2) at 14.00. The museum is closed on Mondays so we all have to go in at the same time – please be punctual.
All members of the Birch and the Star are welcome!
If you are not a member yet but would like to join the association, please fill out the membership form and send it to birchandstar@gmail.com, or bring it along with you to the meeting.
