How are clouds born? Where and how can you feel the weather? How do earthworms spend the winter?
Michaela Casková’s Weather Cabinet is a commissioned artwork that explores the environment and the weather. It consists of 18 paintings mostly implemented using plant-based colours, as well as a colour chart and a booklet with tasks for independent observation and admiration of weather phenomena intended for day care groups.
The mini art cabinet can be reserved free of charge by municipal day care centres in Northern Ostrobothnia and Kainuu for a period of 2–4 weeks depending on the needs of other day care centres in the municipality.
Weather Cabinet weighs approximately 15 kg and is transported from town to town with library materials. Please set the cabinet on a desk before opening it. You can also study the Weather Cabinet guide booklet in advance online.

Michaela Casková
Michaela Casková (1988–, Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic) is an artist, art educator, designer, itinerant gardener and collector who likes to watch atmospheric phenomena, everyday reality and weather. Her methods include walking, making observations, asking questions, imagining and collecting things, making maps and drawing. Weather Cabinet is part of a more extended Small Talks series of artworks that explores our shared fascination, discussions and observations on weather and an itinerant, roaming way of life. Many of Casková’s roamings and collections are linked to the Mustarinda house in the woods of remote Hyrynsalmi, to the artist studios of Lapinlahti in Helsinki, and to her home country, the Czech Republic.
