'''Tietomaa''' is a [[science centre]] in [[Oulu]], [[Finland]]. It is located in [[Myllytulli]] district near the city centre. It is the first science centre in Finland and it was opened to the public on 29 June 1988.<ref name="Manninen"/>
Tietomaa is located in old buildings of the Veljekset Åström Oy, a former leather processing factory. The main exhibitions are located in the former power station. Tietomaa's {{convert|45|m|ft|adj=on}} observation tower with a glass elevator outside the tower is a former water tower of the factory. Tietomaa also features a giant movie theatre, which at its opening was the first-ever purpose-built [[IMAX]] theatre in Finland and in the Nordic Countries. The IMAX system was replaced with a [[Barco (manufacturer)|Barco]] [[4K resolution|4K]] system in 2013.
