Poriginal Gallery Exhibition Archive 1984–2024

From 1984 to 2024, the Pori Art Museum operated a gallery space for temporary exhibitions on the banks of the Kokemäenjoki River, in a former salt warehouse at Eteläranta 6.
In 2025, Poriginal relocated to the Pori Art Museum building, merging its exhibition programme with that of the museum.

The Pori Art Museum's exhibition archive includes Poriginal Gallery exhibitions from 2025 onwards.
