[EN] The collections of the Turku Art Museum include Greta Dahlström's bronze work "Tiger." Its year of completion is unknown. The work is on the interior staircase of the art museum. A copy of this same work of art has been made and installed as a door handle on the main door of the museum. Greta Dahlström was the sculptor's daughter of Ernst Dahlström, councilor of the art museum, who died of lung disease at the age of 25 in 1902.
[FIN] Turun Taidemuseon kokoelmissa on Greta Dahlströmin pronssityö "Tiikeri." Sen valmistumisvuosi on tuntematon. Teos on taidemuseon sisäportaikossa.
Tästä samasta taideteoksesta on tehty kopio ja se on asennettu museon pääoven ovenkahvaksi.
Greta Dahlström oli taidemuseon toisen rakennuttajan, kauppaneuvos Ernst Dahlströmin kuvanveistäjätytär, joka kuoli keuhkotautiin jo 25-vuotiaana 1902.
