Maxim

Introduction

At the location of Maxim at Kluuvikatu, there has been a cinema since 1909, and therefore Maxim is the oldest cinema in Finland. The original magnificent cinema, designed by architect David Frölander-Ulf, was called originally Olympic. Later the name changed to Piccadilly and since the 1930's the cinema has been operating under the name of Maxim.

In the original auditorium there were approximately 450 seats. In the early 1970's the building had reached such poor condition that the it was replaced by a new cinema with two screens in 1974. Theater technology and air-conditioning systems were top-notch of 1970's. The smaller auditorium, Maxim 2, the original decor with gilded reliefs and crystal lamps were preserved. Maxim 1 represented 1970's modern styles.

Maxim was renovated again 1997. Seats and presentation machinere were renewed in both auditoriums. Maxim 2 still has its original character. The auditorium is now protected by National Board of Antiquities (Museovirasto).
