Come and celebrate Helsinki at the heart of the city! To honour the day, we offer free entrance to the museum. On the free day on June 12 2025, Amos Rex is open from 11 am to 8 pm. Entry closes at 7:30 pm, and visitors can stay until 8 pm.

Welcome, see you at the museum!

On Tuesday evening, the Amos Rex Shop will be filled with poetry as Helsinki Poetry Connection and Nuorten Open Mic take over the space with an inclusive and welcoming poetry event. Expect performances from invited guests as well as open mic participants, including Elsa Tölli, Aarni Pieski, and Kuisma.

The event is free of charge, substance-free, and open to all.

Come and spend the Night of the Arts at Amos Rex! To celebrate the evening, we are offering free admission to the museum from 6 pm to 11 pm. Entry closes at 10:30 pm, and visitors can stay until 11 pm.

At Night of the Arts, you can participate in:

• Milla Koistinen’s solo piece Breathe, 8:30–9:30 pm at Lasipalatsi Square
• Amos Rex exhibitions – We currently have four exhibitions on show:
  Anna Estarriola’s delightful and slightly offbeat solo exhibition,
  Enni-Kukka Tuomala’s body of work in Studio Rex, giving empathy a tangible form,
  the refreshed permanent display of the Sigurd Frosterus Collection,
  and Yinka Ilori’s art installation on the Amos Rex mounds.

Maja Ambient is an experimental sound piece that invites listeners to connect with their environment through sound. It will take place on 30 August and is organised by Maja Coffee Roastery (Kaya Nishikori and Tapani Huovinen). The event explores how the environment resonates with the human subconscious, aiming to evoke a feeling in those arriving — gently preparing them for a shift in time and space.

Held on Lasipalatsi Square, the program features seven artists and collectives working at the intersection of sound, performance, and sensory experience. Through continuous ambient soundscapes and site-specific performances, Maja Ambient encourages a heightened awareness of space, time, and community.
