Imatran Taidemuseo
Imatran Taidemuseo is the town art gallery and has a strong collection of Finnish modernism including works by Wäinö Aaltonen. Temporary exhibitions take up much of the space, but it’s worth seeking out the Gallen-Kallela watercolour of the rapids during their heyday in 1893, especially if you’re visiting outside of the rapids show season.

Kolmen Ristin Kirkko
As you approach you can tell by the clean white lines and soaring narrow tower that Kolmen Ristin Kirkko was designed by Alvar Aalto, in 1957. For architecture fans it’s a must, though there are better examples of his work in Finland. Take bus 1.
