The Rovaniemi Art Museum was opened in 1876. It is located in the building of the former post office, renovated by the architect Juhani Pallasmaa and converted specifically for a museum. Most of the exhibition is represented by works of modern Finnish art from the collection of the Jenni and Antti Vihuri Foundation, which already includes more than 2,000 works.

Special exhibitions are aimed at the work of artists from the northern peoples of Lapland. The museum hosts events based on the interaction of science and culture, as well as the local multicultural community and the University of Lapland.
