The Alvar Aalto Museum’s permanent exhibition offers audiences an in-depth exploration of Alvar Aalto’s life’s work. It delves beneath the surface of the architect’s practice and design process, whether in relation to an individual building, an urban centre, a piece of furniture, or a regional plan.

The exhibition is guided by Aalto’s optimistic belief that architecture and good design can solve the challenges of human life and society – or, as Aalto himself put it, “probleems.” The significance of Alvar and Aino Aalto in the history of Finnish design is presented alongside their architectural work.

The display relies on the power of the genuine and authentic – architectural drawings, scale models, and design objects.

The exhibition is supported by Alva, Artek, and the Saastamoinen Foundation.
