Mikkeli Art Museum
Mikkeli Art Museum was opened in 1970 as the Johannes Haapasalo Museum. The name was changed to Mikkeli Art Museum in 1976, following the donation of the Martti Airio collection. The art museum became the South Savo Regional Art Museum in 1981.
From 1970 to 2019, Mikkeli Art Museum was situated in the city center, opposite the cathedral. The building, known as the ‘Granite House‘, was designed by the architect Armas Rankka and dates from 1912. On 8 June 2019, the museum’s exhibitions were moved to a temporary location on the second floor of Shopping Centre Akseli.
Mikkeli Art Museum provides a wide range of services connected with the visual arts in South Savonia. It researches, documents and exhibits art from the region. An important area is the exhibition and collection of Finnish graphic art. In addition to organizing exhibitions, Mikkeli Art Museum manages a growing art collection.
