Myllytori
Myllytori is Uniarts Helsinki’s gallery and event space on the second floor of the Mylly building.
The space serves as a venue for short-term exhibitions by Academy of Fine Arts researchers and students at different educational levels as well as for public events like lectures. Admission to the exhibitions and events is always free. The space is suitable for exhibiting various kinds of works and projects and different experiments.
The Academy of Fine Arts has a large exhibition space, Kuva/Tila, on the first floor of Mylly.
Adaptability was the main design principle
Mylly merges the historic industrial properties of the lot with contemporary architecture of the highest standard. The most important overall goal in the design process was to create an environment that meets the needs of the future users of the building, i.e. the university’s arts students and teachers. The final result is an adaptable, flexible set of facilities that reflect the process-like nature of art-making as well as the industrial history of the city block.
Uniarts Helsinki’s other campus in Helsinki is located in Töölö, which is home of Uniarts Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy. The heart of the Töölö campus is the Helsinki Music Centre.
The building has been designed by JKMM Architects. The new facilities were built by Lujatalo Oy. The property is owned by Veritas Oy, which has leased the building to Uniarts Helsinki.
