The most important visitors in my exhibition were definitely the kids! It was so much fun and Olga Orava (squirrel) was teaching the kids about the animal sounds. #animal #sounds #eläinäänet #ääni #sound #art #taide #design #soundsofthewild #villienäänet #exhibition #näyttely #galleriahuvila @galhuvila #genelec @genelec_oy #squirrel #orava #kids #lapset #soundartist #äänitaiteilija #KirsiIhalainen #Kelosound #kelo #Soundventures
