I had completely forgotten about these pictures! In December we visited an old railway engineering workshop in Turku, the oldest parts of which were built in 1876. More recently, it was re-named Logomo and re-opened as a giant cultural center. Last year when Turku celebrated its year as the cultural capital of Europe, these were the settings of the main exhibition, which was a combination of the science and cultural history of fire. During the course of centuries fire has had an important role in this town, causing great tragedies but also renewal. The interactive exhibition was worth experiencing, but the building itself is impressive, well enjoyed especially by those who love industrial romanticism! Talk about high ceilings! And by the way, later they decided to keep the exhibition open until summer.
