The Alvar Aalto Museum is located on a slope by Lake Jyväsjärvi, next to the University of Jyväskylä and the Museum of Central Finland. The first plans for the museum building were completed in 1970.
Alterations to Korpilahti Church (1926-1927, 2018)
Korpilahti Church dates back to 1827. Its original design was created by A.W. Arppe under the tutelage of Italian architect Carlo Bassi. As the building’s centenary approached, up-and-coming young architect Alvar Aalto was invited to draw up plans to restore this timber-structured round church.
