The WAM Museum of Contemporary Art building on Itäinen Rantakatu is currently undergoing renovation. The renewed WAM will reopen to the public on Saturday 31 October 2026. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Walking

WAM is located in central Turku by the river. The distance from the market square is about 1,200 metres by foot or bicycle. Our closest neighbour is Music Hall Fuuga.

By bus

Repairs to the eastern riverside retaining wall of the River Aura are currently under way, and the construction work is affecting access along the riverfront in front of WAM.

The nearest bus stops are Borenpuisto on Linnankatu and Martinsilta at the junction of Martinkatu and Itäinen Rantakatu.

By car

Due to repairs to the riverside retaining wall, Itäinen Rantakatu will remain one-way from the port towards the city centre until summer 2027.

A new parking facility is being built near WAM, the City Theatre and Fuuga. The facility will provide 230 parking spaces and is expected to be completed in autumn 2026.
