Ateneum

Occupying an 1887 building, Finland’s premier art gallery offers a crash course in the nation’s art. The top floor houses Finnish paintings and sculptures from the ‘golden age’ of the late 19th century through to the 1950s, including works by Albert Edelfelt, Hugo Simberg, Helene Schjerfbeck, the Von Wright brothers and Pekka Halonen. Pride of place goes to the prolific Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s triptych from the Kalevala depicting Väinämöinen’s pursuit of the maiden Aino.

There’s also a small but interesting collection of 19th- and early-20th-century foreign art. Downstairs is a cafe, along with a good bookshop and reading room. Free one-hour guided tours in English take place at noon on the second and fourth Sunday of the month.
