  We visited with my friend this summer at Ateneum Art Museum where there was a magnificent exhibition fantastic. The exhibition was a versatile and interesting collection of Italian art of the years 1920 and 1930. There were also works of Finnish artists in the exhibition. The artists represented the magical realism. Many of the paintings were really interesting and mystical. There were also a large number of portraits. Unfortunately, this exhibition has already finished.
