Kuopio Art Museum
Kuopion taidemuseo
An art museum housed in a 19th-century stone building, with a collection of Finnish painting from the 19th and 20th centuries and special contemporary art exhibitions.
The Kuopio Art Museum is on Kauppakatu in the city centre, and its main building is a 19th-century stone commercial building. The collection focuses on Finnish art, including 19th-century landscape paintings and works by Golden Age Finnish painters such as the von Wright brothers, along with modern and contemporary art from North Savo. Rotating contemporary art exhibitions are also held. The museum is small, and a full visit takes about an hour. Tickets cost around €10, and you can buy a combined ticket with the Kuopio Museum. The museum closes on Mondays. It is only a few minutes’ walk from Market Square and the cathedral, making it a good choice for a rainy day or winter visit.
