Everything Else
Both in and out, this building is amazing. They used a lot of wood in the interiors, which is typical for finnish architecture. Computers that you can use for free for 10min and a cafeteria.

Museum of modern art and history. Turku is built on mud so the old city has sunk and you can see the ruins here. There's a hipsterish cafeteria that serves a cheap (7,50eur) salad buffet for lunch.
