Tampere Art Museum

The Tampere Art Museum is a redbrick building near Pyynikintori market that houses collections of Finnish and international art. The facility displays these works through rotating exhibitions and permanent displays.

The building was completed in 1838 by architect C. L. Engel and originally served as a grain warehouse. It was converted to become Finland's third oldest art museum in 1931.

The museum showcases contemporary Finnish artists and international works through rotating exhibitions. Visitors encounter emerging talents and established creators displayed side by side.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday with extended Friday hours. The facility features complete wheelchair accessibility throughout.

The building blends neoclassical architecture with modern exhibition spaces and is protected by town planning regulations. This mix of old and new defines the museum's character.
