Oulu Art Museum

Art changes people and the world around them. At the Oulu Art Museum you can find transformative experiences and gain new perspectives through art. We believe sensitivity is courage – and we want to give room to it.

The Oulu Art Museum’s exhibition programme focuses on regional and contemporary art – but never forgetting collection exhibitions, special themes and international artists. The exhibitions are accompanied by a rich programme of events.

The collections of Oulu Art Museum emphasise contemporary art. Thematic wholes include different phenomena in visual art, artist self-portraits, naïvist art and the Northern dimension in art. In addition, Oulu Art Museum maintains the art collection of the City of Oulu and manages several smaller donated collections.
