Amos Rex

Mannerheimintie 22-24

The Amos Rex art museum combines the past, present and future. The subterranean museum facility right in the center of Helsinki is an experience itself.

 
Suljettu väliaikaisesti

A new private art museum with unique architecture was opened in central Helsinki at the end of August 2018. Amos Rex is a meeting place for art and urban culture, consisting of new underground exhibition spaces, the old Lasipalatsi (glass palace) from 1936 and its Bio Rex cinema, as well as a vibrant event forum on Lasipalatsi Square, which will serve as the roof of the exhibition hall.

Amos Rex presents site-sensitive, experiential, and often technologically experimental exhibitions by contemporary artists and their Modernist predecessors. Amos Rex aims to present captivating and ambitious art refreshingly and exuberantly.

Designed by architectural firm JKMM, the art museum’s new facility is built beneath the Lasipalatsi square and comprises 2,170 square metres (23,358 sq ft) of highly adaptable and technically well-equipped exhibition space. The goal of the design has been to create as flexible facilities as possible to conform to the needs of ever-changing contemporary art. Along with the construction of the new art museum, the protected Lasipalatsi building has been gently renovated back to its former glory.

As a meeting point for art and urban culture, Amos Rex will reinforce Helsinki’s status as a safely bizarre European city of culture.

Amos Rex’s predecessor, the Amos Anderson Art Museum, functioned on Helsinki’s Yrjönkatu in 1965–2017 in the former home and offices of the art patron and newspaper publisher Amos Anderson (1878–1961). Amos Rex is a private art museum whose construction and operations are funded by Amos Anderson’s Föreningen Konstsamfundet association.
