Arrival & Accessibility

One of the key objectives of the Alvar Aalto Museum’s major renovation completed in 2023 was to improve accessibility. Changes to the interior structure and the construction of a new connecting section now allow barrier-free movement between the museum buildings (the Alvar Aalto Museum and the Museum of Central Finland). We warmly welcome you to the Aalto2 Museum Centre.
