The exhibition includes sculptures and paintings depicting local landmarks such as the Turning Torso, the Öresund Bridge, Folkets Park, and Ribersborg beach. Some artworks draw inspiration from everyday life, like a traffic light created by Bollens preschool. According to Sydsvenskan, Amina Hassan described their traffic light as being about feelings, while Mika Sundén noted they used a huge amount of paint.
During the inauguration, preschool children performed songs they helped write, all centered on Malmö. According to Sydsvenskan, Micaela Beijer, one of the project leaders, described this year's effort as going big to bring all of Malmö, and Sofie Nilsson, another project leader, said it allows children to show their work and feel proud. The exhibition continues with singing and dancing at 10:00 and 13:30 on Thursday and Friday, with entrance at Roskildevägen/Carl Gustafs väg.

It's a bit like a conclusion, the children get to show what they have done and feel proud.
