Alvar Aalto Museum, Cultural history museum in Jyväskylä, Finland
The Alvar Aalto Museum building incorporates brick facades, white concrete base, and strategic roof windows that allow natural light into the 700-square-meter exhibition space.
The museum opened its doors in 1973 as part of a larger complex that includes the Museum of Central Finland, both structures designed by architect Alvar Aalto.
The museum maintains an extensive collection of 1500 artworks, including furniture, glass objects, paintings, and building models created throughout Aalto's career.
The facility operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 18:00 during most months, with extended hours from 10:00 during July and August weekdays.
The museum café features a water cascade view through its windows, demonstrating Aalto's method of integrating natural elements into architectural designs.
