Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma

Why go

The museum pairs changing contemporary-art exhibitions with architecture built around crossings and spatial shifts. Its name derives from “chiasma,” a clue to Steven Holl’s design concept; following the interior’s curves and intersecting routes is part of understanding the building as well as the art.

What to look for

• Changing exhibitions draw on and extend the Finnish National Gallery’s contemporary-art collection.
• Steven Holl’s architecture develops the idea of intersecting forms implied by the name Kiasma.
• Kiasma Theatre adds live performance to the museum programme.

Useful to know

• Check current exhibitions, performances and dated access exceptions before visiting.
• A Kiasma Theatre ticket includes exhibition admission on the day of the performance.
