Public art collections at Aalto University
The aim of public art across Aalto is to create a vibrant environment for experiencing the world through various perspectives and for embracing imagination, intuition, and exploration.
During the Cooler Planet festival, participate in guided tours led by art curator Outi Turpeinen (Head of Art & Exhibitions) to learn about the campus's public art. During the tours, you will become acquainted with the artworks in the Marsio, Kide, and Viima buildings while also exploring the role of percent art and public art at the university.
The tours start from the lobby of Marsio (Otakaari 2). The public art theme of Marsio is Sharing Imagination. The art tour also introduces the Between the Waves/Waves in between theme in the Kide building (Konemiehentie 1) and the Engineering Materials theme in the Viima building (Puumiehenkuja 5).
