Another landmark rises above the old industrial district of Myllytulli — almost like a wizard’s tower. The red-brick tower and adjoining building once formed part of the Veljekset Åström leather factory. Completed in the 1920s, they served as the factory’s water tower and power station. The factory produced, among other things, leather boots, belts, and saddles before closing in 1960.

In 1988, Finland’s first science centre began operating here. The complex has been under renovation since 2023 and is scheduled to reopen in October 2026. As part of the restoration, the tower was given a new copper roof that gleams in the evening light and will gradually return to the familiar green patina I remember from earlier years.
