Pori Art Museum

The year 2022 at Pori Art Museum begins with a renovation of the premises. The café will be converted temporarily into an exhibition space, and we have another gallery in use next to the lobby. The large galleries will be closed for the time being as the renovation is being planned. Pori Art Museum is open partly because of the fire on July 2021.
The museum shop will continue to serve customers, as will the upstairs auditorium and workshop.

We are pleased to announce that our spring programme will include solo exhibitions by two internationally acclaimed artists, Mari Katayama and Eva Koťátková.

The Finnish Government has made the decision on 28 December 2021, to restrict the use of COVID-19 passports between the dates of 30 December 2021 and 28 January 2022.
The number of visitors allowed in the Pori Art Museum will be limited to 20 people.

PORIN TAIDEMUSEO

Pori Art Museum has been famous for its international contemporary art exhibitions for nearly four decades and has from the beginning focused on the new phenomena of the visual arts.

Pori Art Museum is situated in the centre of the town by the river Kokemäki, in the oldest part of the city of Pori. Exhibition spaces are unique in Finland. It resides in an old ware- and weighhouse originally built for the use of the customs in 1858 - 1860.
Also a stone cellar dating back to the 17th century is preserved as part of the architectural structure.

Pori Art Museum was founded in 1981 around Professor Maire Gullichsen’s art collection. It has a background in the tradition of modern art but is focused in its exhibitions and publications on contemporary art.

Starting in the early nineties, the museum has also focused on developing the possibilities of art pedagogy based on contemporary art. Educational Services help clients of all ages to find new perspectives on art and visual culture.
As the regional art museum in Satakunta, the museum hosts large collections and archives of modern and contemporary art.
