The WAM Turku City Art Museum, currently undergoing renovation, will reopen to the public in October 2026. The opening exhibitions will showcase both international contemporary art and highlights from the city\u2019s own art collection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WAM will present the work of Canadian media artist Sabrina Ratt\u00e9 for the first time in Finland. Her visually rich and captivating pieces critically explore the human impact on the planet and the interplay between digital and physical realities. The exhibition will feature large-scale, multi-channel video works, image prints and interactive elements. The artworks will be displayed in a new exhibition space located on the museum\u2019s ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 To launch WAM\u2019s new ground-floor exhibition spaces, we wanted visually powerful media art that also feels timely. Sabrina Ratt\u00e9\u2019s captivating yet beautifully spatial and flowing works will mark a significant beginning for the new exhibition programme, says Museum Director Satu Pajarre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Ratt\u00e9\u2019s exhibition, the museum will unveil a complementary show featuring selected works from the City of Turku\u2019s art collection. This collection-based exhibition focuses on art from the period of the museum building itself, spanning the 1960s to the present day. It will also include a substantial presentation of W\u00e4in\u00f6 Aaltonen\u2019s work and a dedicated section examining Aaltonen as both an artist and a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
