Lapland, the northernmost region of Finland, is known for its unique cuisine with delicacies like baked fresh cheese (leipäjuusto) and reindeer and salmon dishes. If you're looking for ideas on what to cook this weekend, maybe you can give one of these Arctic recipes a try!
The northernmost part of Finland has its own culinary specialities, including recipes that use unusually flavourful potatoes, delicate orange cloudberries and reindeer meat.
Join us tomorrow for a delightful hybrid event for kids: Who is Moomintroll? Minna Honkasalo, producer at Finland's Moomin Museum, will tell all about this central character in Tove Jansson's heart-warming Moomin stories.

When visiting the State of Washington last week, Ambassador Hautala and the 🇫🇮 delegation had the pleasure of visiting University of Washington Scandinavian Studies Department and meet Humanities Dean Brian Reed, Department Chair Andrew Nestingen, and students of the department. Around 10-20 students study Finnish per year. One student told he chose to study Finnish due to the structure of the language. Another one became interested in Finnish, because her family used to have exchange students from Finland.
The Ambassador also found a shop selling Finnish design in downtown Seattle, Pirkko (1407 1st Ave), with many familiar brands such as MARIMEKKO, Lapuan Kankurit, Ritva Falla and Iittala among others. He was even able to get service in Finnish!

Most Finns have grown up with Moomin stories, including our Prime Minister Sanna Marin. She is now happy to introduce these friendly fairytale characters to her daughter, Emma. Moomins, created by the Finnish artist Tove Jansson, can teach us valuable lessons about courage, friendship, equality, and respect for nature. Via the Moomin stories, we can learn about our own humanity, emotions and relationships.
You can experience Moomin stories and animations this fall at the National Children's Museum in Washington, DC! The exhibition, brought to the U.S. by the Embassy of Finland, is open until January 9, 2022.

Moomin Animations exhibition in D.C. is now officially open! Yesterday we had the honor to present the exhibition to selected guests, and now it is open for everyone to see.
Moomins and Moomin animations are an integral part of childhood for many Finns. With the help of these cuddly creatures, kids learn about emotions and relationships as well as the values that the Moomins represent, such as equality, open-mindedness and respect for nature. In this exhibition, children also get to leave messages of kindness for other visitors, explaining what they would like to see more of in the world.
This fall, you can come learn about the Moomins and how these exciting stories, penned by the iconic Finnish artist Tove Jansson, have been adapted to various animation versions. National Children's Museum in Washington, DC opened their new Moomin animation exhibition today for the public, in cooperation with the Embassy of Finland, Moomin Museum, Moomin Characters and Gutsy Animations and supported by LOVI and Finarte.

Hey, how about a little recognition for the Finnish born musicians who have been plying their trade outside of Finland. There are quite a few of us. I, personally, am the first to have written and performed an original song on a Platinum certified album in the USA that was born in Finland. It was Wayne’s World and the song was Ride With Yourself. I was born in Finland. Spent half my youth there. Served my time in the Finnish Army. Still have a Finnish Passport as I am still a Finnish citizen and only a Finnish citizen. Through my years of touring I’ve met many Finnish musicians creating music throughout the world. I hope that just because we didn’t headline Ruisrock doesn’t mean we should be forgotten nor ignored. We still fly the flag with great pride.
