Quiet Tuesday Mornings
We welcome groups* to enjoy a quiet, peaceful, and admission free museum visit to the Museum of Finnish Architecture and Design Museum every last Tuesday morning of the month from 9:00 to 11:00.
Self-guided museum visits on quiet Tuesday mornings are intended for organizations, associations, as well as social and healthcare providers, well-being and health providers and similar providers whose target groups benefit from a quiet, peaceful, and admission free museum visit. Such groups include rehabilitative groups, therapy groups, integration training groups, peer support groups, sensory-sensitive groups, or groups at high risk of infection.
During quiet Tuesday mornings, groups can explore the exhibitions independently or book a guided tour or workshop. The guided tours and workshops are available for an additional fee. The museums are closed to other visitors during quiet Tuesday mornings, making it a peaceful time to explore the museums and exhibitions. Please book your visit for your group at least one week in advance, and inform us of your group’s needs and preferences when making the reservation.
During quiet Tuesday mornings, the Museum of Finnish Architecture can accommodate visits for two groups at a time, with a maximum of approximately 30 museum visitors, in addition to staff, and the Design Museum can accommodate visits for four groups at a time, with a maximum of approximately 60 museum visitors, in addition to staff. The estimated duration of a museum visit for one group is 60 minutes.
Visits during quiet Tuesday mornings are available for booking until the end of 2024. Groups are also welcome to visit during the museums’ regular opening hours. Rehabilitative and similar groups enjoy free admission to both museums. Volunteers or guides planning the visit can explore the exhibitions in advance for free.
