Amos Rexin aukio

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.

Entrance to Amos Rex closes at 10:30 pm, half an hour before the museum closes. If the museum is full, we may have to close the doors earlier.

Welcome, see you at the museum!

Milla Koistinen: Breathe

Lasipalatsi Square, 8:30–9:30 pm

Milla Koistinen’s solo performance Breathe evokes memories of shared joy, the thrill of celebration and the experience of the individual within a crowd. The open Lasipalatsi Square becomes a stage where the performer plays with the shifting states of closeness and distance, chaos and control, connection and estrangement.

The audience is free to move around during the performance and listen to the soundscape on their own headphones.

Milla Koistinen

Milla Koistinen is a choreographer whose work intertwines repetition, everyday gestures, movement and stillness, order and chaos, and the boundaries between reality and imagination into a poetic whole.

She works across performance, installations and site-specific pieces, based between Berlin and Helsinki. Koistinen has performed and taught widely across Europe, and collaborated with artists such as Kristian Smeds and Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop. From 2025, her work is supported by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
