Finalist, MyFinlandPoster contest 2025! The artist presents her poster: My poster depicts a scene in Lapland, where someone is skiing in the moonlight and northern lights are glowing in the sky.

Finalist in the travel poster contest My Finland Poster 2025 The artist presents her artwork: My poster is made with ink and brush and then finalized digitally. The illustration is based on my own experience. My friend and I were lying in the snow. The sky was infinite and we felt like we were floating […]
Finalist in the travel poster contest My Finland Poster 2025 The artist presents her artwork: In the poster I created, there is a winter landscape with a ski trail and snow-covered trees. The northern lights shine in the sky above the ski trail. Surely travel posters can’t simply remain a cry from the past? Absolutely […]
Finalist in the travel poster contest My Finland Poster 2025 The artist presents her artwork: My poster depicts one of my favorite things to do in the winter – dipping into a hole in the ice in a lake or the sea. It would truly be magical to see the northern light reflecting from the […]
Finnish Travel Poster of the year, 2025, 3rd place! The artist presents her artwork: This poster captures the enchanting beauty of the Northern Lights, known in Finnish folklore as ‘fox fires’. A serene Arctic valley with glowing igloos is illuminated by the vibrant aurora, while a lone fox watches the magical display from a snowy […]
This poster is one of the creations of Raimo Raimela and Osmo K. Oksasen. It was made for the Finnish State Railways in 1958, when these two advertising artists shared a studio in Helsinki.
Most of the regions, cities and travel companies in Finland created posters and images of their own, just like wild and exotic Lapland. The idea was naturally to lure travels from near and afar to Finland. We continuously seek more information about all images in our product range, so please write us if you think […]
Forget about the summer, it’s still the winter which is Finland’s trump card. Apart from ski competitions in for example Lahtis and Kuopio it was mainly the State Railways that promoted the Finnish winter, with new travel posters every season. The tourists were to make no mistake: if they were going to Lapland they were […]
During the 1930´s the local and national Tourist Associations worked hard to promote Rovaniemi and Finnish Lapland as an exotic destination for the adventureous traveller. Small hotels were built, among others the proud ”Fell-hotel” at Pallas. During the winter of 1944–1945, after the wars, everyone in Finland was already aware of the bitter truth when […]
And now a nostalgic tear runs down a Finnish cheek. We’re talking of that link to the town, that symbol of national unity, those bright yellow, rather slow, but always reliable and delightfully sociable…post buses. Everything started in Lapland, where the problems of delivering mail were greatest. The Rovaniemi-Sodankylä line started up in 1921, although […]
Numerous are the works which maybe were discarded by the artist, not flagged in competitions or turned down by the customer. That’s why we also want to offer never before printed, completely unique posters like this one by artist Aukusti Tuhka. In this poster he simply tells us to ”Travel to Lapland”. We do agree!
Despite sterling contributions from the Finnish commercial graphic artists, there was still a force that grew ever stronger: the colour photograph. Suddenly one could show things ‘exactly’ as they looked in reality! No exaggerations! No room for interpretation! This is what it actually looks like in Finland! Many of the most talented contemporary photographers travelled […]

This is, to our knowledge (and we do know Finnish travel posters…), the oldest graphic travel poster published by the Finnish State Railways. It was also published in Swedish. The artist for this artwork is unknown. But we continuously seek more information about all posters and images in our product range, so please write us […]
Inspired by the traditional clothing of the inuits the anorak (parka) also reached Finland. That’s when the skiing boy on the poster put it on – and soon the anorak became a favorite also for longtime Finnish president Urho Kekkonen. And now the anorak-boy can style up your home!
For all we know this must be the first poster marketing the Finnish winter and Lapland after the war. During the 1930´s the local and national Tourist Associations worked hard to promote Rovaniemi and Finnish Lapland as an exotic destination for the adventureous traveller. Small hotels were built, among others the proud ”Fell-hotel” at Pallas. […]
During the 1930´s the local and national Tourist Associations worked hard to promote Rovaniemi and Finnish Lapland as an exotic destination for the adventureous traveller. Small hotels were built, among others the proud “Fell-hotel” at Pallas. At this time Finland still had access to the Arctic Sea and the (very long) road-trip from Rovaniemi to […]
4th place: Finnish Travel Poster of the Year 2017! The artist presents her art work: I learnt about Sisu before I ever set foot into Finland and it kind of stuck with me. (I’ve been to Finland a couple of times by now, don’t worry). Although I find it impossible to put Sisu into one […]
Sigh… What if one could fly back in time, put on those skies with a bunch of friends and catch the sun on Pyhätunturi – belonging to the southernmost fell range in Finland. But you can! The fells are still there, the sun is still there, so just do it! The national park of Pyhätunturi […]
What was new to the poster art of the 1950’s was the happy mood – a clear counter reaction to the war and the years of hardship during the end of the 1940’s … Finally they even took their kids with them! We love this poster since this is among the very first Finnish travel […]
