Tennispalatsi, Cultural center in Kamppi, Finland

The Tennispalatsi building features a functionalist architecture with large halls, curved roofs, and expansive windows spanning four floors in central Helsinki.

Built in 1937 as a car dealership and service station, the structure later served as a venue for basketball during the 1952 Summer Olympics.

The building houses the Helsinki Art Museum, displaying Finnish and international contemporary art collections across multiple exhibition spaces.

The cultural center contains 14 modern cinema screens with advanced sound systems, making it one of the largest movie complexes in Finland.

The structure transformed from its initial purpose as a tennis facility into a protected cultural landmark that combines art, cinema, and public spaces.
