The Theatre Museum’s mission is to preserve, research, teach and raise awareness of the cultural heritage of Finnish performing arts by highlighting theatre, dance, opera, circus and performance art.
The Theatre Museum serves as the national responsibility museum for the performing arts.
Our operations are governed by the Finnish Museums Act.
We care about our staff and visitors
We treat everyone equally.
We follow safer space principles and communicate these in our facilities. Our attendants and guides are trained in these principles.
We address inappropriate behaviour and take action together according to agreed procedures.
We provide information about the accessibility of our spaces.
We offer our employees opportunities for training, professional development and career advancement.
We collaborate
Together with the other two museums at the Cable Factory, we form the Cable Museums. We share a common lobby service and organise events together.
Through partnerships with educational institutions, young people can participate in art projects and events at the Theatre Museum.
We offer internships for university students in areas such as collections, archives and communications.
We provide work try-outs for vocational rehabilitation.
We make responsible purchases
The display cases in our exhibitions are acquired second-hand. Exhibition structures are designed to be reusable.
Exhibitions feature furniture received from theatres, such as chairs and tables.
At our own events, all catering is vegan and sourced from familiar local restaurants. We also recommend these restaurants to customers organising events in our spaces.
We care about the environment
The Theatre Museum is easy to reach by public transport.
Cable Factory has its own recycling for reusable items, and we participate in recycling networks. We sort all our waste.
Cable Factory aims at a 10% energy savings target for 2026–2035 (Energy Efficiency Agreement for the Public Sector JETS).
Cable Factory purchases wind-generated electricity for its tenants.
Our collection facilities use entirely carbon-free energy.
