Iittala & Arabia Design Centre, Gallery and Museum in Helsinki, Finland

189

Designmuseo Arabia is part of the Iittala & Arabia Design Center located in Arabianranta, Helsinki. The museum presents the production of Arabia and Iittala, belonging to the Fiskars group, from 1873 to the present day. The design center hosts exhibitions and there are Finnish design shops on the first floor of the complex.

The main focus of the exhibition, assembled from the collections of the Design Museum, is the history of Finnish ceramics and glass design. The Arabian Museum was started in 1941 by the initiative of the factory's artistic director, ceramic artist Kurt Ekholm.

In 2025, the museum is set to move to street level, and will reopen after renovation next to the store.
