Introduction
The Alvar Aalto Museum in Jyväskylä honours Finland's national architect — Aalto's life and work, in a building he himself helped design, a model of modernism. Exhibits span his furniture, glassware, urban plans and iconic building models; the museum across the street answers in Aalto's idiom. Jyväskylä was Aalto's hometown and design lab, so visitors can tour Aalto buildings across the city — a pilgrimage route for architecture lovers.
