Driving from Heinola to Helsinki we stopped off in Porvoo overnight. Porvoo has many beautiful old buildings, but one thing we didn’t expect to find there was what may be one of the world’s smallest art galleries. A converted toilet now houses art available to buy for 12 euros or less.

 

It wasn’t clear if Duchamp’s “Fountain” had been an influence on the owner but I think Duchamp would’ve approved of a toilet in which to house art. Watercolours seemed to work especially well within the space.
