Do you like drawing and painting? Are you fascinated by monsters and magical creatures? Join us for a workshop with illustrator Johan Egerkrans.

After the workshop, Johan Egerkrans will be signing his books in the museum shop. Several of his books will be available for purchase, but you can also bring your favorite book from home.
