Kuopio Art Museum closes for renovation – last chance to see the summer exhibitions
Kuopio Art Museum will close its doors for renovation for the period 2.9.-11.10.2024. This is your last chance to experience the museum’s popular summer exhibitions before the doors are locked. All public spaces at the Kuopio Art Museum will be closed during this period.
The renovation will bring significant improvements to the museum’s facilities, but it will also mean that the museum’s doors will be closed to the public for more than a month. The renovation will not only include basic maintenance work, but also the start of construction work on the future Olotila space and the preparation of the second floor exhibition space for the new main exhibition.
Kuopio Art Museum’s summer exhibitions Paradise – Collection Kakkonen & Marianne Huotari, Ninni Luhtasaari, Pekka Paikkari and Armi Teva and Sauma – Fashion in Art, Art in Fashion have been very popular. They are open until 1.9. The exhibitions offer a unique overview of both Finnish art ceramics and the dialogue between art and fashion.
The Art Loan Shop, GalleriA and the Museum Shop will reopen on 11.10, when Johanna Pöykö’s exhibition opens in GalleriA. On 18.10.2024, the street-level exhibition space will open with the opening of the exhibition Many Forms of Contemporary Comics. Renovations will continue in the upstairs exhibition space, where construction will begin on the new basic exhibition to open in autumn 2025.
