Lasipalatsi Bio Rex

The Bio Rex Cinema hall in Lasipalatsi is an important part of the cinema history of Helsinki and the whole of Finland. When it was completed in 1936, it was one of the largest and most modern cinemas in the city. Over the years, it became an important flagship theatre for both domestic and foreign first screenings.

The cinema has in recent years served as a commissioned theatre for festivals and other events. It re-opened for regular cinema use with public screenings in March 2024.

The cinema screenings at the Bio Rex Lasipalatsi are operated by Oy Elokuvateatteri Gilda Biograf Ab. Ask for more details about renting Bio Rex for special events.
