Vallila: From a Working-Class District to an Idyllic Neighbourhood (ADM Helsinki)

Vallila began as workers’ housing and did not stay that way. The museum’s walk follows the change on the ground — what was built for whom, and what happened to it since — over an hour and a half, in English.

It is one of seven themed architecture walks the Arkkitehtuuri- ja designmuseo runs in English through August, each booked on its own.
