The House of Culture was completed in 1958 close to the centre of Helsinki. It was designed as a multi-purpose building for the Communist Party of Finland. Apart from the concert hall, the building was intended to accommodate a variety of cultural activities. With its Aalto furnishings and light fittings and its wealth of details, the House of Culture is protected by the Act on the Protection of Buildings. House of Culture renovation (2013) is included in the Biennial Review of Finnish Architecture 2014.

Tours are available for groups throughout the year, during August there are also guided tours for public twice weekly.
