National Museum of Finland

The National Museum of Finland is located in Helsinki.

Three Finnish architects – Gesellius, Saarinen and Lindgren – worked on the project of this building. The museum was built at the beginning of the last century. Construction began in 1905 and was completed in 1910. In 1916 the first visitors came to the museum. The building of the museum became a vivid example of national romanticism in architecture.

Visitors to the museum get acquainted with the history of Finland from the Stone Age to the present day. The museum presents collections of coins, medals and orders, jewelry, weapons and much more. Most of the exhibits were found in Finland during archaeological excavations.

You can come to the museum for free every Thursday from 17:30.
