Eteläranta,
28100 Pori
The Pori museum, known for its bold and adventurous exhibits, showcases modern contemporary art from Finland and abroad.
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 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.
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 weighthouse originally built for the use of the customs in 1858–1860. Gallery of Pori Art Museum has acquired a reputation as a high profile gallery. The Poriginal Gallery on the south bank of the Kokemäenjoki river is housed in a former salt storage building. It is located near the art museum.
In addition to exhibitions, museum visitors can enjoy guided tours of exhibitions, lectures and workshops. In the Museum Shop you will find high-quality accessories and responsible choices, art publications, artist materials and Finnish design.
Summer 2022 largest exhibition spaces are currently closed due to upcoming renovations. The exhibition is situated in the smaller spaces connected to the museum lobby.
