We visited quite a few art galleries while on our trip to Helsinki and this was by far our favourite! It had a good variety of artwork on show with a lot of different displays.

Amazing experience to get to know Finland through their art. Very traditional paintings but also very colorful & filled with live. It's a must here in Helsinki. They have free lockers for the ones that are backpackers like me or people who want to be more comfortable. 10/10

Unfortunately is temporary closed. The Ateneum Art Museum is home to the largest collections of classical art in Finland. The museum is home to more than 20,000 works of art, mostly by Finnish artists from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century. Some of Finland’s most cherished artworks are located here including Hugo Simbert’s gloomily symbolic The Garden of Death and Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s Boy with a Crow. The museum building dates back to 1887 and its elegant facade is adorned with statues and reliefs which contain a lot of symbols.
