The Lahti Art Museum is a museum focusing on visual arts, located in Lahti, Finland. The museum was founded in 1950.[2] In connection with it is also the Poster Museum, established in 1975.
Lahti Art Museum is currently closed from visitors (as of mid-2020).[3] It will reopen in new premises in 2021, under the name Lahti Art, Poster and Design Museum LAD. Previously, the art museum was located in a ground floor of an office building located Vesijärvenkatu 11.
The Lahti Art Museum also operated as a regional art museum of the Päijät-Häme from 1980. The task of a regional art museum is to give guidance and offer professional help to local municipalities in questions of visual art. A regional art museum also develops accessibility of services and aids collaboration between organizations.[4]
