Museocon 2024
Museocon will be back at Vapriikki on Saturday 9 November.
Museocon is a role-playing and cosplay convention happening at a Museum Center. There will be workshops, presentations, games, cosplay-themed programme, artist alley and music and dance performances. The Museocon programme is included in the Vapriikki admission fee, with free admission to the artist alley and the museum restaurant.
