The museum is located in a beautiful area. There’s also a café next to it, where you can have a small break and enjoy the views.
By climbing the tower of the museum you can also see the same scenery the artist once saw.
The exhibitions change frequently. At the moment they have a few paintings from private collections. I felt lucky I got to see them in person. There may not be so many paintings, but the ones that are there are great ones. So instead of people complaining about the lack of art, take a moment to enjoy what is there.
There’s fun activities for the family here as well. You may download an app on your phone too! And enjoy some extra content.
If you follow the museum’s social media accounts, you can see when they hold events or fun activities.

Recommend to visit it with the Museumcard (as any other museum in Finland - with the Museumcard it’s free entrance). Better come here in the spring or when it’s not too hot, because it could be quite warm inside. I’d not recommend going here in winter either, because then you won’t be able to enjoy...

Great place really pleasant and most interesting and talented art ever to come out of Finland. Fascinating building. Strange discovered my son had turned green when checked the photos taken. This is obviously somekind of miracle or Alien intervention. I mean what else could it be? Apart from the improbable possibility that my new HowWay mobile phone that I cannot use properly that I might have pushed the wrong buttons. But history Channel convinced me it is Aliens that are behind every single odd thing that happened or...
