AMOS REX

There is always space for those who push the envelope. Amos Rex, a newly-opened museum that aims to bridge art’s past, present and future, is certainly staking its claim in Helsinki’s cultural quarter. Just a few weeks after opening, it has attracted thousands of visitors curious to see the present incarnation of the 1930’s Lasipalatsi building, which underwent a 5-year, 50 million euro refurbishment led by architecture firm JKMM. The approachable design and interactive elements serve as a foil to “present captivating and ambitious art refreshingly and exuberantly”. This was wholly realised in the opening exhibition Massless, which saw Tokyobased art collective teamlab fill the 2,200sqm gallery space solely wtih digital art. amosrex.fi
