What to expect

Dive into the visionary world of Alvar Aalto, one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. This exhibition delves into his human-centric approach to contemporary architecture and the deep connection he and his collaborators, Aino and Elissa Aalto, established with nature through their designs.

Your journey will take you chronologically through pivotal projects spanning Finland, France, the United States, and beyond. From iconic buildings such as the Paimio Sanatorium and Villa Mairea to the crafting of timeless furniture pieces via Artek, you'll gain an understanding of how architecture can shape identity, well-being and everyday life.

Showcasing over 30 projects, the exhibition presents seldom-seen sketches, models and photographs. The areas are arranged thematically to mirror Aalto'’s legacy in areas such as healthcare, education, culture and religion. Regardless of whether you're passionate about architecture, design or history, this visit provides a rare chance to interact with the work of one of the most creative minds of modern times.
