The Night of Science - Stories from the time before the truth

What did we have before fake news? Fake history, of course! The talks in the National Library’s Cupola Hall trace the footsteps of historical fraudsters from Medieval English manuscripts to our contemporary Finnish internet. All talks will be held in Finnish.
