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.

A must go place for tourists and museum enthusiasts. Ateneum showcases year-long some of Finland's most famous and important paintings. Not a huge fan of art museums myself.
-
A great collection of traditional and modern Finnish art. 3 floors of art work with special seasonal exhibition on the top floor. Cafe and shop on ground floor. 18 euros for entry.

I enjoy visiting this museum. I was here couple of times on different exhibits - always very happy with the content.
-
Very good exposition. Not to much not to little. But 16 Euros for a reduced student ticket is way to much. For this the museum was to small.
-
Beautiful historical building. Great location. Arrangements were executed very well. Repin exhibition is amazing. Friendly staff.
