Utopia Now – The Story of Finnish Design

Feb 4, 2017 – Dec 31, 2025

Korkeavuorenkatu 23, 00130 Helsinki

This exhibition features iconic pieces from the golden age of Finnish design of the 1950s, Nokia mobile phones and the Angry Birds game alike. 



Utopia Now is Design Museum’s collections exhibition, telling about the central role of design in the emergence of the Finnish welfare state. It falls into five themes in which the history of design is presented in living narratives. The exhibition’s digital applications permit the display of previously unseen materials and a much greater amount of information than previously.
