Alvar Aalto Museum

The Alvar Aalto Museum operates in Jyväskylä and Helsinki in Finland, and internationally through an extensive network of collaboration. You can explore the Alvar Aalto Museum’s sites here.

The collections and archives of the Alvar Aalto Museum are unique both nationally and internationally. They encompass the work of Alvar, Aino and Elissa Aalto as well as the activities of Aalto’s architectural office up to 1994, when the studio ceased operations. The archives and collections are primarily located in Jyväskylä, where the related expert services are also based. Further information on archive services is available here.

The Museum’s architecture and design education services operate in collaboration with the Alvar Aalto Schools network and the educational services of the Jyväskylä region.

Current exhibitions and events bring the legacy of Alvar, Aino and Elissa Aalto into the present day.
