The Cultural Path introduces sixth graders to the cultural heritage of glass

The Cultural Path is a national cultural education program that implements a child's right to art and culture. Since 2018, every child in Riihimäki has received a diverse range of art and cultural experiences each year through the Cultural Path.

This autumn, a new content has been added to the cultural trail, Glass Experience, which introduces Riihimäki sixth graders to the history of glass and the shapes and colors of glass objects. Glass Experience consists of a hands-on guided tour of the Finnish Glass Museum and a glassblowing demonstration at the Mafka & Alakoski glass studio.
