Gloria Cultural Arena, Cultural center in Helsinki, Finland
Gloria Cultural Arena features a 65-square-meter main stage and can accommodate up to 600 visitors across two floors for performances and exhibitions.
The building opened as a movie theater in 1929, becoming one of the first venues in Finland to showcase sound films before transforming into a cultural arena in 1999.
From 1999 to 2019, this venue hosted over 3000 events, including music concerts, theater productions, dance performances, and art exhibitions for young audiences.
The facility includes three bar counters, modern light and audio equipment, plus separate entrances at Pieni Roobertinkatu for visitors and Yrjönkatu for performers.
Gloria installed Finland's first panorama screen in the 1950s and provided television broadcast viewing areas for cinema audiences between film screenings.
