Helsinki a new entertainment center named Kulttuurikasarmi will open to the public in the center on Friday.
The former bus station building in Lasipalatsikorttel has a distillery restaurant, a cafe, a music bar, a cinema and an event space.

The spectacular warmth of the cinema Bio Rex is on the ground floor of the building.
The movie theater has a poster of the movie Gilda released in 1946 from the time of the French release.
The cinema has three halls, the largest of which can accommodate around 120 customers. You can get a wine cooler on the seats.
There are three types of seats: individual armchairs, sofas and electric seats. There is plenty of legroom.
New the main staircase leads down to the ground floor where there is a cinema. The smell of popcorn and the customers digging for their tickets are no longer there.
Just a few meters behind the wall underground is the Amos Rex art museum. However, there is no secret passage there.
The only “secret passage” is the emergency exit that leads to Matkahuolto’s premises in Kampi.

One among the attractions is art, which visitors can explore free of charge inside the building. There are three works, and they have been chosen by the chairman of the board of the Culture Barracks Ari Tolppanen.
The fourth artwork, a “mystery work”, as Tolppanen describes it, will be announced later next summer. It will be placed on the northern facade of the Culture Barracks.
