Architecture by Alvar Aalto 6: The Alvar Aalto Museum

The booklets in this series present buildings designed by Alvar Aalto, with introductory texts based either on Alvar Aalto’s own writings or on articles written by architectural experts. The contents are enlivened by photographs and architectural drawings of the buildings then and now. The serie has been published since 1976.

The seed of the museum which bears Alvar Aalto’s name was sown in 1966, and this building was completed in 1973. In 40 years, the Alvar Aalto Museum has expanded from an art museum into the world’s most northerly museum specialising in architecture, with a permanent exhibition showing the work of Alvar Aalto’s office throughout its whole history.
