An evening of old buildings 30 October 2024 – Do you need support for the renovation of your building of historical significance?
Do you own an old house or manage a built cultural environment? Did you know that you can apply for grants for its renovation and restoration from the Finnish Heritage Agency and Uusimaa NTM Center? The purpose of the grants is to preserve the valuable environment and buildings and to maintain traditional repair know-how and knowledge of materials. At the KAMU Espoo City Museum's Old buildings evening, we present grants opportunities, advice and a repair case. Coffee service.

If you arrive by metro, follow the signs leading to Länsituulentie at the metro station. Continue to Pohjantie. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk from the subway to WeeGee.
When arriving from the direction of Pohjantie, turn right from Ahertajantie after Museo Leikki and follow the construction site fence to Studio Ilmiö, which is at the east end of the building.
