Taidesauna | Art Sauna
Book Review
There are saunas everywhere in Finland — even one at a Museum!
In 2022, Serlachius art museum opened their sauna, and a year later they published a book that showcases it and the associated artwork. Serlachius is set on the shores of Lake Hopunselkä in Mänttä, Finland (located halfway between Tampere and Jyväskylä).
The sauna, which was designed by Hector Mendoza, Mara Partida and Boris Bežan, can be used for about 14 USD. It has a large hot room, showers, places to relax, and the ability to plunge in the lake!
The book is small, hardcover, Finnish/English, with nice printing. It can purchased here: https://shop.serlachius.fi/fi_FI/kirjat/arkkitehtuuri/taidesauna-art-sauna-2
If I’m ever in the area, I would definitely visit and use the sauna.

Thank you for this article! I went to order the book and the link goes to a 404 error. I tried finding the book on the site but it’s all in Finnish.
