WeeGee house, Exhibition center in Tapiola, Finland
The WeeGee house is a former printing building with large windows and concrete architecture in Tapiola district of Espoo, now functioning as an exhibition center. The structure features multi-story spaces with open floor plans that were adapted to house several separate museums.
The building was designed by architect Aarno Ruusuvuori between 1964 and 1974 as an industrial structure for Weilin+Göös publishing company. After the printing operation closed, the building was later transformed into a cultural venue housing multiple museums.
The building houses five separate museums including the Museum of Modern Art and Finnish Museum of Horology, each offering different collections within one space. You can move between art exhibitions, historical timepieces, and toys without stepping outside.
The center opens Tuesday through Sunday with extended hours until 7 PM from Wednesday to Friday. The building is easily accessible by public transport and gives visitors plenty of time to explore multiple museums in a single visit.
The building keeps its original industrial architecture with exposed concrete and raw material surfaces, creating a strong contrast with the modern art exhibitions inside. This blend of old factory aesthetic and contemporary content creates an unusual visitor experience.
