Korundi House of Culture

What to Expect:

Korundi House of Culture is a hub for art, music, and culture in the heart of Rovaniemi. Originally a post bus depot that survived World War II, Korundi is now a cultural landmark where visitors can experience the best of Lapland’s artistic scene. The building itself, with its red brick exterior, is a symbol of resilience, now repurposed to deliver artistic experiences.

The collection has grown from 500 to nearly 3,500 works, offering a comprehensive view of Finnish art from the 1940s to today. The museum hosts a series of changing exhibitions that highlight both Finnish and Arctic creativity. You can explore visual arts from across the Arctic regions and delve into the dynamic development of Finnish contemporary art.

In addition to the art museum, Korundi is home to the Lapland Chamber Orchestra, where northern melodies come to life in a series of unique performances. Whether it’s a classical concert or a modern arrangement, the orchestra provides a powerful musical experience that resonates with the region's cultural roots.

Korundi also offers a comprehensive art education program with workshops that run alongside the exhibitions, making art accessible to all ages. The museum’s regional responsibility also extends to documenting and preserving Lappish and Sámi art, working closely with the University of Lapland and local communities.

For those seeking an inspiring cultural experience, Korundi combines art, music, and history in a venue that embodies the spirit of Lapland.
