The Art Foundation was established in 1987 to manage the first musical instruments acquired by OKO Bank in the mid-1980s and to expand its art collection. To further its aim, the Foundation owns high-quality musical instruments, which it makes available to specially selected musicians for a fixed period of time or for a specific purpose. The Foundation owns and acquires primarily Finnish contemporary art.
