In this talk I will present 3 outreach activities that we have organized in Finland in the framework of the program: "Turku 2011: European capital of culture". The Quantum Circus is a collaboration between quantum physicists, performing artists, composers and musicians that has given rise to a show inspired by basic principles of quantum physics. The documentary "Insight the light", filmed at the labs of Prof. W. Lange in Brighton and Prof. S. Haroche in Paris, is a poetic portray of the most fundamental processes in nature: the interaction between a photon and an atom. The International Science Day is a festival of science and art where seven speakers have presented their ideas on topics such as the mathematics of juggling, maths and musics, the art of trapped ions and much more.
