Amos Rex

About

Amos Rex is a trailblazing art museum in central Helsinki, renowned for its innovative architecture and dynamic exhibition program. Opened in 2018 beneath the historic Lasipalatsi building, the museum features subterranean galleries topped by domed skylights that create a sculptural landscape on Lasipalatsi Square, inviting visitors to interact with the space above ground. Inside, the flexible, state-of-the-art exhibition halls host around three to four major exhibitions each year, ranging from cutting-edge contemporary art and immersive installations to 20th-century Modernism and ancient cultures. Highlights have included the interactive “Massless” by teamLab, a René Magritte retrospective, and exhibitions of ancient Egyptian artifacts and works by international artists like Bill Viola and Ryoji Ikeda. The museum also houses the restored Bio Rex cinema, a 590-seat venue for films, festivals, and events. Amos Rex’s ever-changing exhibitions and unique architecture make it a vibrant meeting point for art and urban culture, offering surprising and memorable experiences for all visitors.
