Tom of Finland is one of the most recognized Finnish artists in the world, renowned for his signature style and iconic images. 

The exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki highlights Tom of Finland’s artistic mastery, establishing him as a major figure in 20th century contemporary art and visual culture.
