This year marks the 100th anniversary of the beloved character Winnie the Pooh, whose quotes and wisdom resonate more than ever in today's challenging world. The increase in negative news creates a need for escapism, as noted by Johanna Rassi, the director of the Leikki museum, where a special exhibition celebrating Pooh's legacy has been opened. Visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in the world of stories and take a break from reality.

The exhibition titled 'The Legacy of Winnie the Pooh' at the Leikki Museum in Espoo showcases the character’s rich history and the various forms it has taken over the years, including toys, comic books, movies, and food products. This initiative serves not only as a celebration of Pooh's impact but also as a reminder to reflect, slow down, and dive into the comforting world of storytelling during tumultuous times. The use of Pooh’s popularity in various media forms attests to its cultural significance.

The enduring nature of Winnie the Pooh can be attributed to its philosophical presence, emphasizing simple joys and friendship. As families visit the exhibition, they rediscover the lessons imparted by Pooh, solidifying why this character has maintained its charm and relevance a century after its creation. With the exhibition running until the end of the anniversary year, it aims to unite people through nostalgic connections and the timeless essence of childhood joys and adventures.
