Frankie Feetsplinters & Trolls of the PNW 🧌

📅 Jun 18, 2026
⏳ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

If you ever met a troll, what would you ask them?

Trolls are Nordic Nature creatures. They are scary, clumsy and loveable! They emerge out of the mountains and forests of Scandinavia and have existed in Nordic folklore for many centuries.

Thomas Dambo, the artist behind the NW Trolls: Way of the Bird King, is a Danish wood sculpture artist, a skilled carpenter by trade, environmentalist, and trash artist — and a rapper and a storyteller. Thomas comes from a strong storytelling tradition. 🇩🇰

Troll Historian Ann-Charlotte Gavel Adams will be joined by special guest Edgar the Forest King of Vashon Island for a live Q&A session where you'll learn about a troll's perspective on our world.

Have you ever wondered how large exhibition pieces are assembled?

For Moomins’ Sea Adventures, our exhibitions team had to get monumentally creative in piecing together the lighthouse. A scissor lift, wooden supports, safe-handling with multiple people, and nitrile gloves were essential for this delicate operation. The lighthouse, which features a real rotating light, is now the striking centerpiece of our special exhibition 🌊💫
