This is a spin-off of Norwegian children’s book illustrator and writer Åshild Kanstad Johnsen’s Kubbe-verse. This time, Kubbe is going to guide children and adults alike on how to enjoy visiting an art museum.
Going to an art museum can be so much fun. But it can also feel a bit unsettling if it’s your first time—you're stepping into a world that’s quite different from your everyday life. You’ll encounter images, creatures, moods, and ideas that go far beyond what you might expect or imagine. Sounds a bit scary? This book will give you courage! It will prepare you both mentally and intellectually for the big adventure of visiting an art museum.
Follow Kubbe as a role model and learn the etiquette—or just how to be yourself—before, during, and after your visit. That way, you’ll build up knowledge, experience, and self-confidence through regular museum visits.
The book was originally created for Åshild’s exhibition at Taipei Fine Arts Museum. The Kinakaal edition gave it a completely new look and function. It's designed as a lanyard bag that young readers can carry with them while exploring the museum—perfect for storing tickets, leaflets, notes, and more.
