Cultural Centre Valve is a home for five art galleries in the Oulu City Centre. Galleries are open from Monday to Friday at 9–21 and from Saturday to Sunday at 10–21. We offer free entry to all galleries!
Located in the street level of the building are the versatile Valve Gallery, Oulu Comics Center’s Comics Gallery! (fi: Sarjakuvagalleria!), Photo North – Northern Photographic Centre’s Gallery and Foyer Gallery, with an addition of a changing exhibition in the restaurant Valveen Paljetti’s space.
In April 2026 the old film library space on the 2nd floor of the building, was opened as the Pop up Gallery Kamari (eng: chamber).
Come and get inspired!
