Independent exploration
Outdoors and many of the campus buildings are open for exploration and every day there is something interesting happening on campus. If you are visiting the campus without the host or coming to an event and have some time to explore on your own, there are several options to consider: exhibitions, Aalto shop, self-exploration with a campus map and DayTripsteri app.

Get inspired from our public art collections
Aalto University is the first university in Finland to apply the percent principle, where approximately one percent of renovation or construction costs go towards acquiring public art. Public art collections: Global Equality (Väre), The Human Approach (School of Business) and Radical Nature (Dipoli) can be freely explored during buildings' opening hours.
