Over the years Napa Agency’ has produced’s talented illustrators have created numerous illustrations for articles in the Yliopisto magazine – now a wonderful selection of these scientific illustrations is on display at Tiedekulma’s “Research illustrated” exhibition showcasing!
The exhibition opened on January 22, 2026. At the opening event illustrators had the opportunity to talk directly with the journalists who wrote the articles, who also praised the illustrators for their ingenious visual solutions for their texts.
The Yliopisto magazine focuses on presenting recent research and projects at the University of Helsinki and their results. The topics of the magazine’s articles are scientifically diverse and at times quite abstract and challenging to visualize, but Napa’s wonderful illustrators have taken on this challenge time and again. As a result we have a large collection of wonderfully innovative illustrations that present the article topics in a spectacular way, bringing the illustrator’s own valuable perspective to the topic at hand.
Napa Agency would like to thank its long-time client Yliopisto magazine and its brilliantly skilled team – Marja Pemberton and Marja-Liisa Puranen. Congratulations to Yliopisto magazine and its editorial team for a great exhibition!
Discover the wonderful history of illustrations of the University of Helsinki’s magnificent publication at the Tiedekulma exhibition space! “Research illustrated” exhibition is open until 30.4.2026.
