Alvar Aalto Museum
Getting around: Central Jyvaskyla, a short walk from the market square and the Aalto-designed university campus.
Hours: Tuesday-Sunday 11:00-18:00, closed Mondays.
The Alvar Aalto Museum is dedicated to Finland's most significant architect, who began his career in Jyvaskyla; the 1973 museum building is itself an Aalto work. Exhibits trace his move from functionalism to a more organic later style through furniture, glass and models.
Jyvaskyla has an unusually dense concentration of real Aalto buildings within walking distance, making the museum a natural anchor for a short architectural walk.
