The museum embodies conceptual and formal ideals within Finnish identity, bringing out a particular expression and abstraction of its balanced nature.
The elongated twisting body merges two different types of uses, one, public at the north and another more specific to the galleries and exhibitions, more horizontal towards the south.
The interior of the museum combines these two different areas (exhibition and public) through a centralized entrance that separates and joins the two simultaneously, achieving a symbiotic relationship between them. Skylights flood daylight into spaces adjacent to the galleries, creating optimum viewing condition and scenic moments in and around the building.
