Text description provided by the architects.
The museum is a fundamental element in the consolidation of the cultural capability of the Finlayson area, which was a former industrial area. This area now is assumed a leading role in the life of the city of Tampere after the functional conversion. The new museum building fits in well with Finlayson’s historic urban landscape, which represents the block structure of the large industrial buildings nearby.
