Upon its completion in Ruoholahti in 1954, Cable Factory was Finland’s biggest building. As the factory and telecommunication operations ceased in the late 1980s, cultural operators arrived with paintbrushes, instruments and creative ideas in the empty hallways of Cable Factory. Today, hundreds of lessees operating in the creative field are working in the area. Restaurant Hima & Sali operates at Cable Factory.

Cable Factory museums:

The Hotel and Restaurant Museum, the Finnish Museum of Photography and the Theatre Museum opened their doors after renovations in the autumn of 2021. The three museums form a museum centre called Cable Museums at the Cable Factory.
