Neon Lights And Corner Tables - Restaurant life in Hyvinkää

Hyvinkää has a long history as a hub of nightlife, a place to which people have come from far and wide to spend their free time.

After the liberalisation of medium strength beer in 1969, the number of licensed premises increased rapidly. Over the decades, a countless number of them have opened and closed in Hyvinkää. Some of them have already been forgotten; but the ones that have lasted have become an iconic part of the urban landscape.

In this exhibition, you can discover Hyvinkää’s restaurant life from the late 1960s to the first decade of the 21st century. An era when restaurants were packed with people almost every day of the week. Where are you heading, to the corner pub or the nightclub?
