The collage-based series of works, Personae Aboenses, is inspired by people who used to live in the museum area as well as other familiar Turku residents from the 16th century to this day. The large-scale characters combine people, animals and different eras. The public outdoor exhibition is on display indefinitely and can be freely admired from outside the museum. This one portrays Flying Finn, a peregrine falcon, who keeps his eyes fixed on the statue of his idol, Paavo Nurmi. The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world, and the patterns on the bird’s tracksuit come from a cheetah, the fastest land animal in the world.
