Get to know Mr. Toivo Parantainen and his remarkable collection of fine art at Äänekoski Art Museum!

 

Permanent exhibition presents works of fine art from the collection of Mr. Toivo Parantainen. Parantainen (1921-1994) was a teacher and an art collector. He founded “art house” at his home, an old school building in Liimattala, Konginkangas, where he exhibited not only pieces of art of his collection, but he also offered artists exhibition space. “Art house” became later on a foundation and the maintenance was shifted to the city of Äänekoski.

Permanent exhibition has been renewed in summer 2021. It lifted up well-known Finnish artists as H.Ahtela, Hugo Simberg, Simo Hannula, Urho Lehtinen and Veikko Vionoja.

Temporary exhibitions present wide variety of local art.

Äänekoski Art Museum is situated in an attractive villa, built in 1900. At first, villa acted as home to the family Hammarén, the father being the head of the Äänekoski Mills. Later on, in 1920´s and 1930´s, villa provided apartments for the graduate engineers and their families and in 1950´s and 1960´s it served the forest industry as assembly rooms for important foreign visitors and sociable balls. Villa was renovated in 1970´s as offices for the staff of the mill. In 2004 the municipality of Äänekoski purchased building in order to establish an art museum and to offer appropriate premises for the art collection of Toivo Parantainen. The first exhibition was opened to public in October 2005.
