Wäinö Aaltonen Museum of Art, Art museum on Aura River banks in Turku, Finland.
The museum displays permanent collections of Finnish art and sculptures within a modern building featuring wide windows and numerous skylights.
The City Council of Turku approved the museum's establishment in March 1964, with artist Wäinö Aaltonen donating the foundational collection.
The museum focuses on three-dimensional art and works from the Turku area, adding approximately 60 new artworks annually through grants and direct purchases.
The museum opens Tuesday and Friday from 9:00 to 17:00, Wednesday and Thursday from 11:00 to 19:00, and weekends from 10:00 to 17:00.
The museum building was designed by Matti and Irma Aaltonen, with direct input from Wäinö Aaltonen during the planning process.
