Although Alvar Aalto designed the town theatre in 1968, its construction was not completed until the 1980s (under the supervision of his wife and partner, Elissa Aalto). The foyer is a showroom for design pieces from the Aaltos' company, Artek, as well as Alvar's collection of striking bentwood reliefs.
