AALTO – Aino, Alvar, Elissa – The Human Dimension of Design opened at the MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, Italy, on 14 December 2023. The exhibition shows how architecture, art, and design are all interlinked in the Aaltos’ thinking, while the buildings designed by Alvar Aalto’s architect’s office continue to inspire architects around the world.
The exhibition contains a large number of original drawings from the Alvar Aalto Foundation’s extensive collections. It includes documents on loan from the Foundation’s document collection and items, such as glassware, furniture, and light fittings, from its object collection. The loan of nearly 250 objects for this exhibition is the biggest made by the Alvar Aalto Foundation in 2023. More about the exhibition.
