Visions of Alvar Aalto: General admission

Visions of Alvar Aalto

In June 2025, a permanent exhibition opened at Finlandia Hall, guiding visitors on an inspiring journey to the creative sources of Alvar, Aino and Elissa Aalto, as well as to the heart of Finnish identity. The story‑driven exhibition presents creativity, Finnishness and humanity in an unprecedented way through the lives and works of the Aaltos, key events in Finnish history, and the Finnish relationship with nature and forests. The exhibition invites you to sense, linger and participate. The exhibition is produced by Finlandia Hall.
