Why go
A performance is the strongest reason to enter, but the exterior also anchors Railway Square’s cultural ensemble. The rugged Jugend forms express Finnish National Romanticism, while the Aleksis Kivi statue in front links the national stage with one of Finland’s central literary figures.
What to look for
- Onni Tarjanne designed the present building, completed in 1902.
- The theatre developed from the Finnish Theatre founded in Pori in 1872.
- The Aleksis Kivi statue stands directly in front of the Railway Square facade.
Useful to know
- Interior access is tied mainly to performances and theatre events.
- The facade can be examined from the open square beside the central railway station.
