History
The oldest part of the building was built in 1876 as a machine shop for the state railway monopoly VR. Since then, it has been expanded several times and in 2011 it was renovated to function as the main venue for the Turku European Capital of Culture festivities. The opening exhibitions were: "Alice in Wonderland" photographic display, Tom of Finland retrospective, "Only a game?" football themed exhibition by UEFA, video installations by Eija-Liisa Ahtila and Isaac Julien, and an exhibition on fire by Heureka "Fire!Fire!".[2]
