Oulu Museum of Art

The Oulu Art Museum occupies a former leather factory with industrial architecture and modern exhibition spaces spread across multiple levels. The building maintains its industrial structure while housing contemporary art displays and collections.

The building was designed in 1922 by architect Birger Federley and served the Åström Brothers leather business until 1960. Afterward it was transformed into an art museum to support cultural activities in the city.

The museum shows works by local and contemporary artists that reflect Northern Europe's art scene. Visitors can see exhibitions focused on regional perspectives and visual trends that matter to the local community.

The museum is accessible on most weekdays, with extended hours during the week and shorter hours on weekends. Visitors should allow time to explore the multi-floor exhibitions at a comfortable pace.

The museum partners with public spaces to display artworks in schools and parks throughout the city. This approach brings contemporary art to everyone, not just those who visit the building.
