Galleria MABD is owned and ran by Manninen Art, Branding & Design. MABD was established in 2018 by two sisters, Hanna and Outi Manninen. At the heart of the business is the magnificent gallery space.
Hanna Manninen is the gallerist of Galleria MABD. She brings her 20-year experience of international PR and marketing into the marketing and selling of art. “We want to create memorable cultural experiences, utilise my international background and global network. We are not your typical art gallery, we want to make our exhibitions stand out from the crowd.”
Galleria MABD
Galleria MABD is located in the historical Tuomi building, which is one of the oldest stone-built buildings in Oulu. The Tuomi building was built in 1906, and the gallery space was originally designed as a convenience store. Nowadays, the two-storey gallery provides an inspiring space for art exhibitions and different types of events.
