Aine Art Museum

Aine Art Museum is an active meeting place for fine arts in Tornio. The art museum offers exhibitions from the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions, workshops, and lectures. Aine Art Museum was born from the love of art shared by Eila and Veli Aine, residents of Tornio. The collection of the Aine Pictorial Art Foundation, which was established in 1974, forms the basis for the Aine Art Museum operations. The museum was opened in 1986.

The permanent collection of the Aine Pictorial Art Foundation represents Finnish visual arts from the yearly 19th century until today. The collection emphasizes Finnish expressionists from the beginning of the 20th century and the Prisma-group from the 1950´s and 1960´s.

The growing collection of Aine Art Museum contains works of modern and contemporary art. The museum emphasizes on the contemporary art.
