Elsa & Tyyne 1918 – war photographers by chance
How did the civil war look like for a young female photographer in Helsinki in 1918? Tyyne Böök had a popular photographic studio in a worker’s district to the north of the Pitkäsilta bridge. Elsa Sillman was a medical student and an amateur photographer. When the war erupted, both women grabbed their cameras.

About the museum
Project Space
The Project Space is intended for exhibitions and projects that use photography or other lens-based media as tools for art or research. The space shows stimulating exhibitions by both fresh talents and more established artists. NB! The museum will not organize an open call in 2018 due to the upcoming construction work at Cable Factory. The museum's exhibition spaces will be partially closed in 2019.

Workshops
A workshop is a more active way of approaching the exhibitions at the museum. The basic idea of workshops is learning by doing.
