This museum is a hidden gem walking distance from the city center, it is actually a 19th century mansion and brewery which belonged to the wealthy merchant family of Sinebrychoffs. It hosts their exquisite art collection, beautiful antique furniture and stunningly decorated house rooms. Paul Sinebrychoff's study, Gustavian room featuring stunning rococo decorations and the dining room evoke the magical world of Harry Potter.

Read moreArt museum that is located in a house, or city manor more like,in downtown Helsinki. Museum has one floor dedicated to permanent exhibition which features also one Rembrandt. Plenty portraits and moderately good works. It also shows to some extent how the upper class lived in Helsinki about 100 years ago. You can see, among other things, very beautiful furniture. At the moment they also have works from finnish artist called Laurèus. To my eye he was very qualified illustrator, good money in that field Im guessing.
