Visiting Aalto University

Independent exploration

Outdoors and many of the campus buildings are open for exploration and every day there is something interesting happening on campus. If you are visiting the campus without the host or coming to an event and have some time to explore on your own, there are several options to consider: exhibitions, Aalto shop, self-exploration with a campus map and DayTripsteri app.

Explore our thought-provoking exhibitions

With multiple spaces across the Otaniemi campus and partnership projects each year, there are always dynamic exhibitions activities taking place at Aalto. Visitors are welcome to explore exhibitions during buildings’ opening hours. Main exhibition spaces are located in ³Õä°ù±ð&²Ô²ú²õ±è;(Otaniementie 14), Undergraduate School (Otakaari 1), Harald Herlin Learning Centre (Otaniementie 9), Dipoli Gallery (Otakaari 24), M8 Art Space (Maarintie 8) and Aalto Studios Gallery Lounge (Otakaari 7).

Get inspired from our public art collections

Aalto University is the first university in Finland to apply the percent principle, where approximately one percent of renovation or construction costs go towards acquiring public art. Public art collections: Global Equality (Väre), The Human Approach (School of Business) and Radical Nature (Dipoli) can be freely explored during buildings' opening hours.
