In the Finnish Glass Museum Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985), a leading light in the Finnish industrial arts and a designer of objects that became classics, got a chance to realize his vision of a museum as a total artwork.

This book unravels the building's architecture, spaces and exhibitions, along with Tapio Wirkkala's unique work as the designer of the Finnish Glass Museum.
