The Extinguished match pop art sculpture made of Latex and urethane is interesting, there was a humorous video on the upper floor comparing a toothache due to inflamed wisdom teeth and miniature cave people living in the mouth of the pain stricken woman.

I also liked the flow of the museum, easy to navigate and each exhibition rolled into the next. As with any modern art museum, some things are weird and unsettling and some things are simply stunning. I really liked the Shoplifter exhibit and the interactive elements in the Your on the Stage( I think that's what it's called) exhibit. Great way to spend a couple of hours while in Helsinki.

Great museum. I spent hours here and could have spent hours more. The exhibits are varied and…read moreinteresting, with a lot of interactive aspects that allow you to fully engage with the museum. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that their audio tour (which is free) is a little uneven; some rooms have nothing or only play music, some rooms have way too many things to scan with narrations that go on for far too long. This place is really cool, though, and if you like history/natural history/artifacts/etc. it's definitely worth a visit.

The museum is clearly aiming for kids to enjoy as well, with a lot of the items available for touching. Most of the captions in Finnish, but their free wifi let Google Translate do some interesting translations for me. Don't miss the view from the balcony. [Review 10061 overall, 1646 of 2018.]

While the Finnish Air Force museum does have a wider variety of military aircraft from different international manufacturers, this one focuses more on the civil aviation aspect of things. The signs here were for the most part in both Finnish and English. It is worth noting that when visiting this place in winter, a jacket is a must, as none of the hangars are heated.

KAMU (Espoo City Museum) has a interesting and visual exhibition about Espoo history and interesting temporary exhibitions. The Museum of Horology is quite small in squaremeters but has hundreds of different clocks and visualizes the history of time. Ehnographical Helinä Rautavaara Museum has lots of exciting artefacts from Africa, Asia etc and small but well-made temporary exhibitions. They also arrange nice workshops and events. Both children and adults love the Toy Museum - and they have a slide for visitors! EMMA is one of biggest museums of modern art in Finland and has many temporary exhibitions. You can also visit the yellow "ufo", -60's plastic Futuro-house, but only on summer months. The cafe is ok, but a bit overpriced. The exhibition center shop is quite nice too.

His work is very art nouveau inspired but with a very strong Finnish nationalism focus (drawn when Finland was a grand duchy of Imperial Russia). The main building, built in the Finnish romantic architecture style from the turn of the century), is a very interesting mix of nouveau and ancient Finnish castles from folk tales. The inside of the museum is also quite fascinating (a floor made of burnt circular cut logs, for example) and the artwork very good. An older building, high Victorian period, stands next to the castle-like museum building and features Finnish pastries and coffee/tea. Those visiting Finland wanting to get the Finnish experience would be well advised to go to this museum.
