Guided Story

Take a moment to feel the serene grandeur around you. Look up at the impressive structure designed by Dominikus Böhm. He was a master at blending light with space, and here at the ChorForum, you can see how shadows dance across the walls. Did you know this place was once a church before it was deconsecrated in 2008? The architecture still whispers of its spiritual past. If you turn around, you might catch a glimpse of the Aalto Theater in the distance, providing a striking contrast with its modern style. The quiet here invites you to pause and reflect on the bridge between history and the present.
