Glass walkways connect buildings that contain a factory store, museum, exhibition and café, covering a total area of 2,500 square metres. Free entrance.
The café on The Pentik Hill accommodates 80 persons and offers sweet pastries and salty delights. A great place to stop during shopping and gallery visit to enjoy a salty pie, salad or freshly baked buns. The café is open during the opening hours of our factory outlet. Bigger groups can book their servings in advance by calling +358 40 349 6438.
Anu Pentik Gallery
Anu Pentik Gallery’s facade features a stunning, eight-metre high and twenty-metre wide ceramic installation called Posion Voima (The Strength of Posio). Created very much in the ethos of recycling, the art piece makes use of scraps of ceramic broken during production. The gallery is dedicated for Finnish design and ceramic art. Free entry.
Museums
The Pentik Home Museum was first established in 1973 as the home of Anu and Topi Pentikäinen. The company’s ceramics production, store and café all operated in the same premises that were the precursor to what has now become the Pentik Centre. At Pentik Hill you´ll also find the Countryside Memories and International Coffee Cup Museums and The Old Ceramics exhibition. Free entry.
